Endorsement: For applicants who have passed a LPN/RN State Board Testing Pool Examination (SBTPE) or the NCLEX and have been licensed in another state or US jurisdiction to practice nursing. Oregon requires a license to practice nursing and considers that practice to begin as soon as you begin orientation to a nursing position. ( In other words, you must have a license in hand before you begin orientation .) It is considered unlawful to offer nursing services, utilize any nursing title/abbreviation, or sign your name as such without holding a valid and current Oregon nursing license. The Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) does not issue plastic license cards. Applicants may check the status of their pending application with the OSBN Application Status Wizard.

In response to the federal mandate, the Real Estate Appraisers' Licensing and Certification law was passed by the California Legislature in 1990 (AB 527, Chapter 491 of 1990). The law charged the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers (BREA) with licensing real estate appraisers in the State of California and enforcing national ethical and professional standards and qualifications that comply with the mandate. Effective January 1, 2010, California law (Chapter 173, Statutes of 2009) required the registration of Appraisal Management Companies (AMC) with the BREA. This handbook details the procedures for appraiser licensing only and not for AMC registration. Please refer to the BREA website for AMC laws, regulations, registration forms, and instructions. Mission Safeguard public trust by promoting professionalism in the real estate appraisal industry through licensing, education, and enforcement. Program Components BREA consists of two primary functions, appraiser Licensing/AMC registration and Enforcement. The Licensing Unit ensures that applicants for appraisal licenses meet minimum requirements for education, experience, and examination that comply with federal mandates and ensure that only qualified persons are licensed to conduct appraisals in federally related real estate loan transactions. The Enforcement Unit investigates complaints of violations of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and ensures that licensees adhere to all applicable laws and regulations."

"text": "Posted by: Brightwood College Updated: July 27, 2017If you’re planning to become a real estate agent, there are specific requirements that you must meet in order to earn and use your license. Those requirements depend heavily on the state where you are trying to become licensed. Real estate licenses are state-specific, and earning one in a given state grants you the licensure you need to legally act as a real estate agent in that state only. As a result, each state is allowed to dictate specifically which requirements you must meet to become and stay licensed. Age Requirements To become a real estate agent, your state will likely require that you be at least 18 years old. Many young real estate agents find it difficult to compete in a profession largely dominated by older agents with larger spheres of influence and more business experience. However, young real estate professionals often bring an enthusiasm and eagerness to the job that can go a long way toward building a successful real estate career. Formal Education Requirements In most states, your high school graduation is the only formal education milestone you need to achieve in order to get your real estate license. In some states, you are not even required to complete high school for licensure, as long as you meet the minimum age requirement. You are often not required to complete any post-secondary education (traditional university or tech school education) to become a licensed real estate agent."

"text": "1. You Do Not Have To Be a Lawyer The fact that you went to law school does not relegate you to a career as a lawyer. This is an obvious statement; but it is often forgotten by law students because their professors, fellow students, family, and friends assume they went to law school to become lawyers. The fact is, many law graduates go on to successful careers that have nothing to do with the practice of law. They can do this because the underlying skills they developed in law school translate well to numerous other fields ranging from banking to real estate, to the entertainment industry. The key to finding a career outside the law is understanding the skills you possess and then demonstrating to employers how these skills qualify you to work in their respective fields. This page will help you identify your abilities and offer some fields that value those abilities. Next it will discuss whether you should take the Bar Exam. Finally, it will provide some resources that will help you find the career you are looking for, and list some specific non-lawyer jobs that are frequently held by people with law degrees.

A reader asks: \"\"What is the difference between a real estate broker and an agent? We are working with a broker associate, and we don't know what type of agent she is nor what a broker associate means. Is she a real estate agent or a real estate broker? \"\" Answer: There are so many types of real estate agents that even agents confuse themselves sometimes. To stand out in a crowd, some agents add titles after their names. They could be an associate, a real estate consultant, salesperson, or a REALTOR®, but they are all licensed to sell real estate. Real estate brokers can work as agents but agents cannot work as a real estate broker without a broker's license."

Agents or salespeople are often required to be affiliated with a real estate broker, and getting a broker's license requires additional training hours and a more comprehensive exam. A real estate agent or broker becomes a Realtor only when he or she becomes a member of the National Association of Realtors and subscribes to its Code of Ethics [ 1] . Typical costs: Many community colleges offer combined real estate agent and broker courses, ranging from $600 to $5,000. In addition to certificate courses, some offer associate's degrees in real estate (see How Much Does a Community College cost for more information). The Los Angeles City College [ 2] offers real estate education approved by the California Department of Real Estate for agents and brokers for about $600 for in-state residents. Many state universities also offer agent and broker training. Real estate pre-license courses are often integrated into a school's general business degree or MBA curriculum (see education.costhelper.com/college.html>How Much Does College Cost for more details). Extension real estate licensing courses are also available $500 to $2,000 or more.

Under the doctrine, as long as the facilities provided to each race were equal, state and local governments could require that services, facilities, public accommodations, housing, medical care, education, employment, and transportation be segregated by race, which was already the case throughout the former Confederacy. The phrase was derived from a Louisiana law of 1890, although the law actually used the phrase \"\"equal but separate\"\". [ 1] [ better source needed]The doctrine was confirmed in the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision of 1896, which allowed state-sponsored segregation. Though segregation laws existed before that case, the decision emboldened segregation states during the Jim Crow era, which had commenced in 1876 and supplanted the Black Codes, which restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of African-Americans during the Reconstruction Era. 18 states had segregation laws. In practice the separate facilities provided to African Americans were rarely equal; usually they were not even close to equal, or they did not exist at all. For example, according to the 1934-36 report of the Florida Superintendent of Public Instruction, the value of “white school property” in the state was $70,543,000, while the value of African-American school property was $4,900,000. The report says that “in a few south Florida counties and in most north Florida counties many Negro schools are housed in churches, shacks, and lodges, and have no toilets, water supply, desks, blackboards, etc."

Visual Material from the NAACP Records, Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress (20A). Courtesy of the NAACP. [ Digital ID# cph 3c26579]After the abolition of slavery in the United States, three Constitutional amendments were passed to grant newly freed African Americans legal status: the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery, the Fourteenth provided citizenship, and the Fifteenth guaranteed the right to vote. In spite of these amendments and civil rights acts to enforce the amendments, between 1873 and 1883 the Supreme Court handed down a series of decisions that virtually nullified the work of Congress during Reconstruction. Regarded by many as second-class citizens, blacks were separated from whites by law and by private action in transportation, public accommodations, recreational facilities, prisons, armed forces, and schools in both Northern and Southern states. In 1896 the Supreme Court sanctioned legal separation of the races by its ruling in H. A. Plessy v. J. H. Ferguson, which held that separate but equal facilities did not violate the U. S. Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment. Beginning in 1909, a small group of activists organized and founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)."

These laws were legally ended in 1964 by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. [ 5] [6] [7]Continued practices of expecting black people to ride in the back of buses or to step aside onto the street if not enough room was present for a white person and \"\" separate but equal \"\" facilities are instances of de facto segregation. The NAACP fought for the de jure law to be upheld and for de facto segregation practices to be abolished. Public schools in any region of the US may be de facto racially segregated (or nearly so) simply because they are in neighbourhoods whose residents are all, or nearly all, of one race (such as urban ghettos or conversely, affluent suburbs)."

"text": "\"Attorney Thurgood Marshall would go on to become a Supreme Court justice. ( Associated Press)E DITOR'S NOTE: On May 17, 1954, a hushed crowd of spectators packed the Supreme Court, awaiting word on Brown vs. Board of Education, a combination of five lawsuits brought by the NAACP 's legal arm to challenge racial segregation in public schools. The high court decided unanimously that \"\"separate but equal\"\" education denied black children their constitutional right to equal protection under the law, effectively removing a cornerstone that propped up Jim Crow, or state-sanctioned segregation of the races. Associated Press reporter Herb Altschull chronicled the decision and what it meant for segregation, which in 1954 permeated many aspects of American life. Using the style and language of journalists of his era, including a reference to Asians as \"\"Orientals,\"\" Altschull captured the uncertainty hanging over a society on the brink of seismic change. H ere is Altschull's compelling report. The Supreme Court ruled today that the states of the nation do not have the right to separate Negro and white pupils in different public schools. By a unanimous 9-0 vote, the high court held that such segregation of the races is unconstitutional. Chief Justice Warren read the historic decision to a packed but hushed gallery of spectators nearly two years after Negro residents of four states and the District of Columbia went before the court to challenge the principle of segregation. The ruling does not end segregation at once."

"text": "The Supreme Court (Karen BLEIER/FILESKAREN BLEIER/AFP/Getty Images )The 60th anniversary of the historic Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling is almost upon us and it’s a good time to take a look at whether it succeeded in its mission: to end segregation in public schools. Here is an important report about what has and has not been accomplished. It was written by Richard Rothstein, a research associate at the Economic Policy Institute, a non-profit created in 1986 to broaden the discussion about economic policy to include the interests of low- and middle-income workers. He is also senior fellow of the Chief Justice Earl Warren Institute on Law and Social Policy at the University of California (Berkeley) School of Law, and he is the author of books including “Grading Education: Getting Accountability Right, and “Class and Schools: Using Social, Economic and Educational Reform to Close the Black-White Achievement Gap.” He was a national education writer for The New York Times as well. This appeared on the EPI blog. By Richard Rothstein May 17 is the 60 th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, the U. S. Supreme Court’s 1954 decision that prohibited Southern states from segregating schools by race. The Brown decision annihilated the “separate but equal” rule, previously sanctioned by the Supreme Court in 1896, that permitted states and school districts to designate some schools “whites-only” and others “Negroes-only.” More important, by focusing the nation’s attention on subjugation of blacks, it helped fuel a wave of freedom rides, sit-ins, voter registration efforts, and other actions leading ultimately to civil rights legislation in the late 1950s and 1960s. But Brown was unsuccessful in its purported mission—to undo the school segregation that persists as a central feature of American public education today."

Marshall was the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court on which he served as Associate Justice from 1967-1991 after he was successfully nominated by President Johnson. He retired from the bench in 1991 and passed away on January 24, 1993 in Washington DC at the age of 84. Civil rights and social change came about through meticulous and persistent litigation efforts, at the forefront of which stood Thurgood Marshall and the Legal Defense Fund. Through the courts, he ensured that Blacks enjoyed the rights and responsibilities of full citizenship. Marshall was born on July 2, 1908 in Baltimore, Maryland to William Marshall, railroad porter, who later worked on the staff of Gibson Island Club, a white-only country club and Norma Williams, a school teacher. One of his great-grandfathers had been taken as a slave from the Congo to Maryland where he was eventually freed. Marshall graduated from Lincoln University in 1930 and applied to University of Maryland Law School – he was denied admission because the school was still segregated at that time. So Marshall matriculated to Howard University Law School where he graduated first in his class and met his mentor, Charles Hamilton Huston, with whom he enjoyed a lifelong friendship."

Related to segregation: law of segregation Segregation The act or process of separating a race, class, or ethnic group from a society's general population. Segregation in the United States has been practiced, for the most part, on African Americans. Segregation by law, or de jure segregation, of African Americans was developed by statelegislatures and local lawmaking bodies in southern states shortly after the Civil War. De factosegregation, or inadvertent segregation, continues to exist in varying degrees in both northern andsouthern states. De facto segregation arises from social and economic factors and cannot be traced to officialgovernment action. For example, Zoning laws that forbid multifamily housing can have the effect of excluding all but the wealthiest persons from a particular community. De jure segregation was instituted in the southern states in the late nineteenth and early twentiethcenturies. The state legislatures in the Yonkers, New York, Battles Segregation In 1980, the Justice Department and the Yonkers branch of the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People ( NAACP) filed a civil lawsuit against the city of Yonkers, New York,the Yonkers School Board, and the Yonkers Community Development Agency, charging that thecity had engaged in systematic segregation for the previous 30 years. The plaintiffs alleged that thecity government had disproportionately restricted new subsidized housing projects to certain areas of the city already heavily populated by minorities."

"text": "In the Courts Courtroom battles played a significant role in the civil rights movement. For many years, civil rights leaders waged hard-fought and carefully planned legal battles to overturn legal segregation and achieve equality under the law. Justice John Marshall Harlan cast the sole dissenting vote in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. Fifty-eight years later, his grandson and namesake, John Marshall Harlan II, also a Supreme Court justice, was on the court that overruled Plessy in Brown v. Board of Education. ( Wikimedia Commons)As originally written, the U. S. Constitution did little to protect the rights of African Americans. Following the Civil War, however, three amendments were added to the Constitution. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery. The 14th Amendment granted citizenship to everyone born in the United States. It also banned states from limiting citizens’ rights, depriving them of due process of law, or denying “any person ... the equal protection of the laws.” The 15th Amendment prohibited racial discrimination in voting."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The courts of the United States are closely linked hierarchical systems of courts at the federal and state levels. The federal courts form the judicial branch of the federal government of the United States and operate under the authority of the United States Constitution and federal law. The state and territorial courts of the individual U. S. states and territories operate under the authority of the state and territorial constitutions and state and territorial law. Federal statutes that refer to the \"\"courts of the United States\"\" are referring only to the courts of the federal government, and not the courts of the individual states and counties. Because of the federalist underpinnings of the division between sovereign federal and state governments, the various state court systems are free to operate in ways that vary widely from those of the federal government, and from one another. In practice, however, every state has adopted a division of its judiciary into at least two levels, and almost every state has three levels, with trial courts hearing cases which may be reviewed by appellate courts, and finally by a state supreme court. A few states have two separate supreme courts, with one having authority over civil matters and the other reviewing criminal cases. 47 states and the federal government allow at least one appeal of right from a final judgment on the merits, meaning that the court receiving the appeal must decide the appeal after it is briefed and argued properly. Three states do not provide a right to a first appeal. Rather, they give litigants only a right to petition for the right to have an appeal heard."

"text": "State Courts Background The judicial powers of individual states are generally vested in various courts created by state constitution or (less frequently) state statute. Within the boundaries of each state and coexisting with state courts are numerous federal district and/or appellate courts that function independently. Also coexisting within state boundaries are various administrative tribunals that also hear and decide legal matters, such as worker’s compensation boards, professional licensing boards, and state administrative tribunals. Yet, there are often local, district, and/or municipal courts within the community. At first blush, it may appear overwhelming and confusing to consider what legal matter may be decided in which forum. But for the most part, each of the above courts has its own separate function and role in applying the laws to the controversies brought before it and administering justice to all. Function and Scope of State Courts To understand the function and scope of state courts, it is necessary to consider them in relation to the federal court system expressly created in Article III of the U. S. Constitution. Article III also establishes the type of cases that federal courts may hear and decide (federal “jurisdiction”). Article VII of the Constitution declares that “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States … and all Treaties made … under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.” Later in the Constitution, the Tenth Amendment provides that “powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Section 4 (5), which addresses the rights and immunities of the carrier and the ship, provides that \"\"in any event,\"\" a carrier’s liability exposure is limited to USD 500 per “package” or “customary freight unit.” 2INSIGHT06 JUN 2014ALSO AVAILABLE IN JAPANESE/和訳 (PDF)However, COGSA neither defines what qualifies as a package or customary freight unit, nor does it clarify which situations and circumstances will prompt courts to disregard the limitation. Thus, examining how the United States courts analyse the COGSA package limitation and its exceptions is crucial to an informed understanding of how the COGSA limitation is applied. What is a COGSA package? Since COGSA’s enactment nearly eighty years ago, the federal courts have struggled to provide a clear and succinct definition of a COGSA package. One of the most commonly followed interpretations, for example, defines a COGSA package as “a class of cargo, irrespective of size, shape or weight, to which some packaging preparation for transportation has been made which facilitates handling, but which does not necessarily conceal or completely enclose the goods.” 3 Such a broad description is not unusual; there is no widely accepted concise definition of a COGSA package. Nonetheless, the courts have charted a map of reference points that an observer may use to create the boundaries of what constitutes a package and what does not; there is a general framework that courts apply when determining whether a particular item is a COGSA package. Generally, there are two schools of thought when determining whether a particular object is a COGSA package."

"text": "\"DUI / OWI (Drunk Driving) Court - Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin Criminal Cases In Wisconsin all drunk driving charges after the first one are criminal charges handled in Circuit Court. First offense cases are not charged as crimes unless there is a minor in the car or there is an injury. Those non-criminal (civil) charges may be handled in municipal court or Circuit Court. Both criminal and civil drunk driving charges can have profound consequences. A criminal case can be either a misdemeanor (with a jail sentence) or a felony (with a potential prison sentence). This page describes Dane County practice but much of it is the same regardless of which county a case is charged in. Cases are charged where the events happened, not where the defendant lives. These are often the same place, but not always. Sometimes an incident charged as drunk driving may happen in more than one county, in which case it may be charged in any county where the driving under the influence occured. Civil Cases - First Offense First Offense OWI / DUI is not treated as a crime in Wisconsin unless there is a child in the vehicle or someone is injured."

"text": "Related Articles1Job Description of a Judge2Steps to Become a Judge3How to Become an Appellate Judge4County Judge Duties Circuit court judges and associate judges both oversee court cases at the federal, state or county level. Anyone wishing to work as either type of judge must have completed a law degree, passed a state assessed bar exam and have obtained a licence to practice law. Despite the similarities between the two roles, there are also substantial differences between these jobs. Becoming a Judge Circuit court judges run for office in state elections. Unlike other elected officials, these law professionals are not affiliated with political parties. Eligibility laws vary between states but in states such as Florida, a candidate must have been practicing law in the state for at least five years before running for office. Associate judges are appointed rather than elected officials. Each circuit court judge has the authority to appoint a sufficient number of associates to handle the case load within the circuit court district. The career longevity of a circuit court judge is determined by the electorate while a single individual can decide to rehire or replace an associate. ( References 1,2,3 and 4)Term Although associate judges do not have to stand for election, their terms in office are shorter than term times for circuit court judges."

"text": "Justice Don Willett – Nominee to the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Perhaps no other Trump nominee has the level of pre-nomination buzz as Willett. The gregarious Texas Supreme Court Justice is particularly famous for his presence on Twitter, calling himself the “tweeter laureate of Texas.” [ 1] Furthermore, Willett has attracted attention for his economically libertarian judicial philosophy and his presence on then-candidate Trump’s Supreme Court shortlist. [ 2] In any case, his strongly held and demonstrated legal philosophies are likely to draw both controversy and opposition, making for a challenging confirmation process. Background Donny Ray Willett was born in Dallas, TX in 1966. Willett attended Baylor University, graduating with a B. B. A. in 1988. After graduating, Willett spent a year in Waco, TX, working as an LSAT instructor, a tutor, and a waiter at Steak and Ale Restaurant. In 1989, Willett joined Duke University School of Law, getting a J. D. with Honors, and a M. A. in 1992. After graduating, Willett clerked for the senior Judge Jerre Stockton Williams on the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and then joined the Austin office of Haynes & Boone, LLP. In 1996, Willett joined the Office of then-Governor George W.

The Executive Branch of government is in charge of enforcing laws made by the Legislative Branch. Some of the governor's powers include choosing directors of state agencies, selecting citizens for boards and official groups, and filling empty positions in county offices. The governor also appoints judges. The governor acts as the commander-in-chief of the Missouri National Guard. The governor also has the power to pardon individuals who have committed crimes, call special sessions for the legislature, and activate the National Guard for state emergencies. Each January the governor delivers a speech called the \"\"State of the State\"\" to the Missouri Legislature and submits a state budget. After the legislature passes a bill, the governor has the power to sign the bill into law or prevent it from becoming a law by vetoing it. When the governor vetoes a bill, the legislature can pass it anyway if 2/3 of both houses vote for it. The Missouri Constitution says the governor must be at least 30 years old, a U. S. citizen for 15 years, and a resident of Missouri for 10 years."

Rate it using the stars above and let us know what you think in the comments below. What is Appellate Practice? In an appeal, a higher court—an appellate or supreme court—reviews the decision of a lower court—generally a trial court or an administrative agency. Lawyers specializing in appellate practice handle the process of appealing a final judgment. This may happen in a civil or criminal case after a trial before a judge or jury, or after dismissal of a case upon disposition of a motion (such as a motion for summary judgment, in which a party has argued that there is no genuine issue of material fact in a case and that he or she is entitled to prevail as a matter of law). An appeal is typically brought before an intermediate court of appeals and, if necessary, to a supreme court. Both the state and federal courts have avenues of appeal for civil and criminal cases. Most states have an intermediate, or appellate, court that hears cases from lower courts in the same geographic district within the state. Appeals from the appellate courts are brought before a higher level court, typically called a supreme court."

A: Quick Answer An appellate court or court of appeals hears cases that may legitimately warrant new decisions, according to the American Heritage New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy.

Credit: Barry Winiker Photolibrary Getty Images Full Answer A legitimate appeal usually occurs when new evidence arises or when the party is capable of posing a good argument that the original court misinterpreted the Constitution, the American Heritage New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy states. There are 12 federal courts of appeal, corresponding to 12 regionally distributed circuits that cover a number of states. A party is entitled to appeal a case at each level of appellate courts until the case reaches the United States Supreme Court.

Also, some jurisdiction of the federal courts is non-exclusive, i.e., concurrent with that of the state courts. As a result, state courts handle over 98% of all litigation in the United States. [ 1] The jurisdiction of each specific state court is determined by the constitution and laws of that state. Selection of judges For a more detailed treatment, see State judges. The selection of state judges differs from that of federal judges; it also varies from state to state and, in some states, between trial and appellate courts. State judges typically serve terms of a number of years. Common methods of selection include partisan elections for each term and gubernatorial appointment for the initial term followed by retention elections for subsequent terms. ["

"text": "Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia takes part in an interview with Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday n July 27, 2012 in Washington, D. C. Photograph by Paul Morigi/Getty Images. It’s August. Do you know where your Supreme Court is? A good bet is that none of the nine justices are in Washington, D. C. As Chief Justice John Roberts once quipped: “Only Supreme Court justices and schoolchildren are expected to and do take the entire summer off.” ( Roberts made that statement while serving as an attorney in the Reagan Administration.) The justices are free to leave town as soon as they issue their last decision of the term in late June, and they are usually not to be found back in the nation’s capital until the first Monday in October—the official start of the new Supreme Court term. Many of the justices use this chunk of free time to travel, lecture, write books, and teach, among other activities. This summer is no exception: Justice Antonin Scalia spent most of the summer teaching in Austria; Chief Justice Roberts chose to teach in Malta, while Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Justice Samuel Alito did the same in Italy. Not only are these teaching gigs a delightful respite from the swampy heat of D. C., they also let the justices pad their wallets with about $20,000, a supplement to the justices’ $213,000 salaries. Should the leaders of the judicial branch be in a position to use “summer” as a verb, particularly when they take advantage of the time off to moonlight as law professors?"

DATE: May 20, 20111. SYLLABUSA court order cannot supersede federal law, specifically regarding the selection of a representative payee. Although the court can appoint the conservator, SSA retains the exclusive responsibility for appointment of the representative payee. Section 205 (j) (1) (A) of the Social Security Act clearly establishes that the Commissioner of SSA full power and authority to determine the representative payee.2. OPINIONQUESTIONS PRESENTED1) Does a court order that declares that Mary W~ is a “protected person” under West Virginia Code § 44A-1-4, and appoints a guardian and conservator without limitation establish that Mary W~ is legally incompetent for purposes of appointing a representative payee?2) Can the state of West Virginia compel the Social Security Administration (SSA) to select the Sheriff of Kanawha County, the court named conservator for Ms. W~, as representative payee for Ms. W~’s benefits? ANSWER1) Yes. Based on the material you provided and the law of West Virginia, Ms. W~ is legally incompetent, and SSA should appoint a representative payee for her SSI payments.2) No. A state court order cannot supersede federal law, specifically the Social Security regulations, regarding the selection of a representative payee. We have requested that the United States Attorney’s Office file a motion to remove the matter from state court to federal court, and then file a motion to dismiss."

For instance, if a lawsuit contains claims for breach of contract, fraud and interference with contractual advantage, and if there are three defendants in this lawsuit, then until all three claims are resolved as to all three defendants, any appeal by any party will be considered interlocutory. The American courts disfavor such appeals, requiring parties to wait until all the claims as to all parties are resolved before any appeal can be brought to challenge any of the decisions made by the judge during the life of the case. \"\" Although the general rule requires finality in order for a matter to be appealable, there are exceptions arising principally from court rules that permit appeal of interlocutory matters under specific circumstances.\"\" [ 1]Interlocutory appeals may be brought, however, if waiting to bring an appeal would be particularly prejudicial to the rights of one of the parties. For example, if a party is asserting some form of immunity from suit, or is claiming that the court completely lacks personal jurisdiction over them, then it is recognized that being forced to wait for the conclusion of the trial would violate their right not to be subjected to a trial at all."

"text": "‘Liberty to Apply’ — What it Means1/12/12 2:33 PMFEATURES‘Liberty to Apply’ — What it Means This article examines the nature and scope of the ‘liberty to apply’ provision. The ‘liberty to apply’ provision accompanies the main provisions of an order or judgment. A litigator who encounters it for the first time is likely to wonder what it means since the three words neither constitute a complete sentence nor are self-explanatory. An appreciation of the nature and scope of the ‘liberty to apply’ provision helps the litigator decide whether to appeal against an order or to apply under the ‘liberty to apply’ provision for further orders or directions. It is also helpful in determining whether a subsequent order made pursuant to a ‘liberty to apply’ provision can be successfully appealed against. As a general proposition: If a party contends that the basis of a decision is wrong, it should appeal against the decision. If a party contends that a decision is unworkable without assistance from the court, it should invoke the ‘liberty to apply’ provision for assistance. If a party contends that a decision is unworkable in any event, it should apply to set aside the decision and make a fresh application for a substitute decision. If a party contends that a subsequent order made under a ‘liberty to apply’ provision amounts to a variation of the original decision, it should appeal against the subsequent order. This article attempts to identify the different manifestations or varieties of the ‘liberty to apply’ provision with a view to further the understanding of its nature and scope."

International and non-international armed conflicts The Statute of the International Criminal Court defines war crimes as, inter alia, “serious violations of the laws and customs applicable in international armed conflict” and “serious violations of the laws and customs applicable in an armed conflict not of an international character”. [ 1] The Statutes of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda and of the Special Court for Sierra Leone and UNTAET Regulation No. 2000/15 for East Timor also provide jurisdiction over “serious” violations of international humanitarian law. [ 2] In the Delalić case in 2001, in interpreting Article 3 of the Statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia listing the violations of the laws or customs of war over which the Tribunal has jurisdiction, the Appeals Chamber stated that the expression “laws and customs of war” included all laws and customs of war in addition to those listed in the Article. [ 3] The adjective “serious” in conjunction with “violations” is to be found in the military manuals and legislation of several States. [ 4]There is also practice which does not contain the adjective “serious” with respect to violations and which defines war crimes as any violation of the laws or customs of war. ["

Appellate procedure consists of the rules and practices by which appellate courts review trial court judgments. Appellate review performs several functions, including: the correction of errors committed by the trial court, development of the law and precedent to be followed and anticipated in future disputes, and the pursuit of justice. In reviewing errors of the lower court, the errors focused on are of a legal nature, appellate courts will usually not disturb factual findings. Several issues are foremost in appeals, such as what judgments are appealable, how appeals are brought before the court, what will be required for a reversal of the lower court (e.g., a showing of \"\"abuse of discretion,\"\" \"\"clear error,\"\" etc. ), and what procedures parties must follow. In order to bring an appeal, there must be a finality in the decision or order appealed. See, for example, the federal \"\"final judgment rule\"\" at 28 U. S. C. § 1291. There are, however, exceptions to the \"\"final judgment rule.\"\" They include: instances of plain or fundamental error by the trial court, questions of subject-matter jurisdiction of the trial court, or constitutional questions."

"text": "Interlocutory Appeals Law and Legal Definition An interlocutory appeal is an appeal of a ruling by a trial court that is made before the trial itself has concluded. It asks an appellate court to review an aspect of the case before the trial has concluded. In the U. S., such an appeal can be made if extraordinary circumstances exist that would prevent the case from being properly decided if the appeal wasn't heard. Interlocutory appeals are generally restricted by state and federal appellate courts because courts do not want fractional litigation. These appeals are entertained to prevent irreparable harm from occurring to a person or property during the pendency of a lawsuit or proceeding. Interlocutory orders may be issued in a divorce proceeding to prevent injury or irreparable harm during the pendency of the lawsuit. Courts may also issue interlocutory orders where property is about to be sold or forfeited and a lawsuit has been filed seeking to stop the action. In such cases, the court enters an interlocutory injunction, preventing the transfer of property until it has made a final decision.

"text": "\"Death-Knell Doctrine Law and Legal Definition Death-Knell doctrine is a rule that allows an interlocutory appeal to filed in cases where not allowing the appeal until final judgment would moot the issue on appeal and cause irreparably injury to the appellant's rights. This was recognized as an exception to the final-judgment rule but the doctrine was later limited by the U. S. Supreme Court in Coopers & Lybrand v. Livesay, 437 U. S. 463 (U. S. 1978) where the court held that the fact that an interlocutory order might induce a party to abandon his claim before final judgment was not a sufficient reason for considering it a \"\"final decision.\"\" However the doctrine is still applicable in some contexts. For example, the doctrine allows an immediate appeal of the denial of a temporary restraining order when the lack of an appeal would leave nothing to be considered in the trial court. [ Woratzeck v.

"text": "What’s the Difference Between an Order and a Judgment? Posted on January 21, 2012 by Bonnie Sudderth This is a parallel question to the previous question (what is the difference between a hearing and a trial), because, generally speaking, an order is what follows a hearing, whereas a judgment is what follows a trial. Normally, a judgment is the final, decisive act that resolves a dispute in court. It is always in writing and signed by the judge, and it declares who wins the lawsuit and what, if anything, the winner receives as the prevailing party. Ordinarily, a judgment resolves all of the disputes between all of the parties in the case. [ 1]An order, on the other hand, resolves a dispute between the parties but does not normally resolve the entire case. [ 2] In many cases, dozens or even hundreds of orders may be issued before a final judgment is signed in a case. For example, judges sign orders of continuance (moving a trial setting to a later date), orders of transfer (moving the case to another court), docket control orders (establishing a schedule for the case) and discovery orders (requiring the parties to exchange certain information), none of which actually resolve the lawsuit. Also, while judgments are always in writing, orders sometimes are not – orders may simply be issued verbally from the judge in open court (such as, “I order the parties to be back in court at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning”). Labels can sometimes be deceptive, however."

"text": "Discussion Paper Chapter 3: Review and amendment of assessments This Chapter explains the current rules governing the amendment of assessments and discusses whether they should be changed to give taxpayers earlier certainty as to their income tax liability. The Chapter considers various approaches including shortening amendment periods, early notification of compliance activity and extending pre-assessment agreements. The rules governing the amendment of income tax assessments attempt to balance two competing objectives, namely that: A taxpayer should pay the correct amount of tax according to law. Whether or not a taxpayer has paid the correct amount, eventually their tax affairs for a particular year should become final, unless they have deliberately sought to evade their responsibilities. The law seeks to balance these objectives by allowing the Tax Office to amend assessments to correct errors, but only within time limits set out in the law. This Review has examined the topic from the perspective that, in order to promote the concept of certainty, the period permitted for amendment should approach the minimum required by the Tax Office (and the taxpayer) to identify incorrect assessments and take action to correct them.3.1 The amendment rules before self assessment Before self assessment, the Tax Office’s ability to amend an assessment depended on whether the taxpayer had made a ‘full and true disclosure’ in their tax return of all the facts necessary for the Tax Office to make an assessment. 1Where a taxpayer had done this, the Tax Office could increase the assessment within three years from the date that the tax on the original assessment became due and payable, but only to correct an error in calculation or a mistake of fact. The Tax Office could not amend an assessment to correct a mistake of law. In practice, this meant that if a person told the Tax Office all about a claim they were making in an attachment to their tax return and the assessor allowed it incorrectly, the Tax Office could not usually correct its mistake later. However, if an assessor had simply made a mistake in working out the details of the claim (say by wrongly calculating the proportion of private use of a motor vehicle used partly for work), that mistake could be corrected later, if discovered within the time limit."

Is the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) an organization within the U. S. Department of the Treasury? Answer: No. The IRS is not an organization within the United States Department of the Treasury. The U. S. Department of the Treasury was organized by statutes now codified in Title 31 of the United States Code, abbreviated “31 U. S. C.” The only mention of the IRS anywhere in 31 U. S. C. §§ 301‑315 is an authorization for the President to appoint an Assistant General Counsel in the U. S. Department of the Treasury to be the Chief Counsel for the IRS. See 31 U. S. C. 301 (f ) ( 2). At footnote 23 in the case of Chrysler Corp. v. Brown, 441 U. S. 281 ( 1979 ), the U. S. Supreme Court admitted that no organic Act for the IRS could be found, after they searched for such an Act all the way back to the Civil War, which ended in the year 1865 A. D. The Guarantee Clause in the U. S. Constitution guarantees the Rule of Law to all Americans (we are to be governed by Law and not by arbitrary bureaucrats). See Article IV, Section 4. Since there was no organic Act creating it, IRS is not a lawful organization.2. If not an organization within the U. S. Department of the Treasury, then what exactly is the IRS?"

An \"\"evasive defendant\"\" is an individual or entity that wilfully behaves in a way that will hinder the ability of the process server to serve process on that individual or entity easily or in a timely manner. Sometimes evasive defendants may effectively evade process service by building a barrier of circumstances, actions and decisions that practically leave the process server powerless. Examples of service of process evaders are: 1- Jane Doe is a federal employee whose home address is unknown but whose work place is at 12 Center St., in Downtown. When the process server calls her at her work place she answers and identifies herself but as soon as she is informed that the process server is at the lobby of the building and that he has a child support summons and petition for her, she hangs up. When the process server approaches the front desk security guard or her supervisor, the server is informed that they will not allow service on Jane Doe because she is a federal employee or because \"\"our policies prohibit service of process at our employee's work place\"\". 2- John Doe works at a smoke cessation center as a therapist.

S. ('foreign') financial institutions (FFIs) to search their records for customers with indicia [ clarification needed] of 'U. S.-person' status, such as a U. S. place of birth, and to report the assets and identities of such persons to the U. S. Department of the Treasury. [ 1] FATCA also requires such persons to self-report their non-U. S. financial assets annually to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on form 8938, which is in addition to the older and further redundant requirement to self-report them annually to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (Fin CEN) on form 114 (also known as 'FBAR'). [ 2] Like U. S. income tax law, FATCA applies to U. S. residents and also to U. S. citizens and green card holders residing in other countries. FATCA was the revenue-raising portion of the 2010 domestic jobs stimulus bill, the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, [3] [4] and was enacted as Subtitle A (sections 501 through 541) of Title V of that law.

This comes a day after a hearing on his tax evasion case, which he was prevented from attending. A frisson of excitement ran through the staffers at his Beijing studio as Ai returned from the police station with the notice marking the end of the restrictions.

[ 1] [2] While the Internal Revenue Code makes an exemption for churches and other religious institutions, it makes only special tax codes and deductions, not exceptions, for religious professionals. The United States Supreme Court held in 1878 Reynolds v. United States, [3] that a religious belief, however strongly held, does not exempt the believer from adhering to general laws. Fifth Amendment [ edit]Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, whose opinion in United States v. Sullivan is often cited by courts in Fifth Amendment self-incrimination cases Self incrimination [ edit]Other protesters argue that the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination allows an individual to refuse to file an income tax return calling for information that could lead to a conviction for criminal acts from which the income was derived, or for the crime of not paying the tax itself. [ 4] In response, the courts generally refer to the case of United States v. Sullivan, where Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote: If the form of return provided called for answers that the defendant was privileged from making he could have raised the objection in the return, but could not on that account refuse to make any return at all.... It would be an extreme if not an extravagant application of the Fifth Amendment to say that it authorized a man to refuse to state the amount of his income because it had been made in crime. But if the defendant desired to test that or any other point he should have tested it in the return so that it could be passed upon. He could not draw a conjurer's circle around the whole matter by his own declaration that to write any word upon the government blank would bring him into danger of the law. ["

"text": "Consequences of Not Filing a Federal Personal Income Tax Return: Penalties and Moreby Free Advice staff Income taxes must be paid on funds above a certain level of income. Regardless of what some theorists may argue, filing taxes is not optional. In fact, failing to file a tax return when you make above a certain amount of money will result in criminal penalties including fines, liens, and even imprisonment. With the Internal Revenue Service being more flexible than ever in helping people pay their tax debt, there is no excuse to avoid filing. In fact, not filing will cost you much more than if you had filed and paid the amount owed. The Law According to the Internal Revenue Code, anyone making above the federally established tax exemption limit is required to file a tax return. This includes employees, employers, farmers, military personnel, students, and senior citizens. See IRS Publication 501 which charts the filing requirements for most taxpayers. ( There is one major exception to the table. Taxpayers who are still legally the dependents of another person (usually their parents or guardians) must file at smaller levels of income. )"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The life cycle of federal supervision for a defendant. United States federal probation and supervised release are imposed at sentencing. The difference between probation and supervised release is that the former is imposed as a substitute for imprisonment, [1] or in addition to home detention, [2] while the latter is imposed in addition to imprisonment. Probation and supervised release are both administered by the U. S. Probation and Pretrial Services System. Federal probation has existed since 1909, while supervised release has only existed since 1987, when it replaced federal parole as a means for imposing supervision on releasees from prison. Some conditions of probation and supervised release, such as compliance with drug tests, are made mandatory by statute, while others are optional. Some terms are recommended by the United States Sentencing Guidelines for specific situations; for instance, a requirement of participation in a mental health program is recommended when \"\"the court has reason to believe that the defendant is in need of psychological or psychiatric treatment.\"\" [ 3] The judge has broad discretion in deciding what optional conditions to impose, as long as those conditions are reasonably related to the nature and circumstances of the offense and the history and characteristics of the defendant, the need for the sentence imposed to afford adequate deterrence to criminal conduct, the need to protect the public from further crimes of the defendant, the need to provide the defendant with needed educational or vocational training, medical care, or other correctional treatment in the most effective manner; and involve no greater deprivation of liberty than is reasonably necessary for these purposes and are consistent with any pertinent policy statements issued by the United States Sentencing Commission. [ 4] The possible length of supervision is specified by law, with recommendations for particular situations being provided by the sentencing guidelines. The length and conditions of supervision can be modified by the court after sentencing, although the defendant has a right to a hearing if changes are being proposed that would adversely affect him/her."

Tax Evasion The process whereby a person, through commission of Fraud, unlawfully pays less tax than the lawmandates. Tax evasion is a criminal offense under federal and state statutes. A person who is convicted is subject to a prison sentence, a fine, or both. The failure to file a federal tax return is a misdemeanor,but a consistent pattern of failure to file for several years will constitute evidence that these failureswere part of a scheme to avoid the payment of taxes. If this pattern is established, the violator may be charged with a felony under section 7201 of the Internal Revenue Code. The U. S. Supreme Court, in Spies v. United States, 317 U. S. 492, 63 S. Ct. 364, 87 L. Ed. 418 (1943), ruled that an Overt Act is necessary to give rise to the crime of Income Tax evasion. Therefore, the government must show that the taxpayer attempted to evade the tax rather thanpassively neglected to file a return, which could be prosecuted under section 7203 as a misdemeanor."

His story has been told in dozens of fictionalized and true-to-life movies, television shows, books and other media. It’s an impressive collection for a man whose success and indeed whose life were relatively brief. Growing up in New York City, Capone was active in the Five Points gang, a criminal enterprise of mostly younger Italian-Americans in Manhattan that also graduated such well-known mobsters as Charlie “Lucky” Luciano and Johnny Torrio. It was in New York that Capone suffered a facial wound in a fight at a brothel, earning him the nickname “Scarface. ”Torrio moved to Chicago in 1909 to work for syndicate boss “Big Jim” Colosimo, and in 1920 Torrio called upon Capone to join their growing enterprise in the Windy City. Colosimo operated hundreds of brothels and gambling rackets, but he reportedly refused to go into bootlegging, which, with the enactment of Prohibition in 1920, was a huge growth opportunity for organized crime groups. Colosimo was shot to death the same year Capone came to Chicago. Although nobody was ever arrested for Colosimo’s murder, many believe Torrio ordered the hit, and that Capone was an accomplice in the killing. LEARN ABOUT THE ST."

"text": "Tax Evasion Costs Over $300 Billion Each Year Posted by Daniel Packer in Taxes • 6 Comments Think tax evasion is a small problem? The Tax Justice Network released a report in November 2011 that showed that in the U. S., tax evasion amounts to $337.3 billion a year. This was based on numbers from 1999 to 2006, and could be even higher in recent years as the weak economy may have led more people to hide money from the government. For example, the average tax refund decreased by $100 in 2011, maybe people are reporting less income in order to keep more of their money. It’s hard to wrap my head around how much money that is. Congress was recently unable to agree on a plan to reduce the national deficit by $1 trillion over 10 years. Over the same time period, tax evasion will cost us well over $3.3 trillion. I’m a big proponent of everyone following the tax rules. When we don’t, it means that everyone else has to pick up the slack. Because of this fraud, tax rates are likely higher and future generations will be paying for current expenses."

The sentence, added to a five-year sentence imposed in May for passport fraud, means that Angleton will serve 14 years, three months in prison. There is no parole in the federal system. U. S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt also fined the 58-year-old bookie $125,000 today. Assistant U. S. Attorney Albert Balboni derailed any chance of a sentence reduction by revealing that Angleton had filed a financial affidavit with the court that failed to list a safe deposit box and an $115,000 bank account in the Philippines registered under a false name.

Timing Is Everything (Photo credit: Wikipedia)Anyone who is hiding income or assets from the taxman should consider how long they need to be looking over their shoulder. Even if you aren’t actively hiding anything and did your best with your taxes, you might be worried. After all, taxes are horribly complex. The line between creative or aggressive tax planning and tax evasion is sometimes less clear than you might think. Even innocent activities can sometimes be interpreted as suspect. It can help your peace of mind to know how long you can be asked to prove income, expenses, bank deposits and more. For all of these reasons, it’s good to know about the normal IRS statute of limitations and how a tax evasion or fraud claim from the IRS can turbo-charge a case."

That is to say, a federal government operating way outside of the limits mandated by the Constitution. Everyone knows you must pay federal income taxes. There are people in jail right now for income tax evasion. The vast majority of those persons, if not ALL of them, have voluntarily (you can't be forced to swear an oath) signed a return under penalty of perjury, swearing that they were subject to the income tax, and that all or most of their income was taxable according to the IRS code, (federal law Title 26). Then, they lied about how much income they earned giving the government everything they need to prosecute them successfully. The tax return becomes a signed confession of guilt. Most Americans have never seen the law that requires them to file a return, and most have never researched the IRS code to determine how much, if any, of their income is taxable under the law as it is actually written."

The way that I approach them and quench their curiosity also aids in understanding the development of adolescents and older children as well as geriatric populations and the development of neurological diseases such as dementias.

Menopause occurs when a woman stops ovulating and her monthly period (menstruation) ceases. Menopause actually means the last menstrual period. The average age of the natural menopause is 51 years, but can occur much earlier or later. Menopause that occurs before the age of 45 is called early menopause and before the age of 40 is premature menopause. After menopause and over a span of years (usually 10 or more), you may also see changes in your skin, such as increased dryness and wrinkling, and a change in hair texture. The vagina’s lining may become thinner, less pliable and drier. Your breasts lose some of their fullness, and your nipples become less pronounced. Bone loss also rapidly speeds up in women at menopause (even though bone loss is a natural part of aging). At this stage, women may become more susceptible to osteoporosis."

Apparently it is common practice for a person that has assaulted someone to make counter allegations in order to try and avoid prosecution, or to encourage the initial complaint to be dropped. Is this true? Allan Woodward, Workington, Cumbria You could sue them for libel or slander. Technically these crimes are torts rather than criminal offences so an arrest wouldn't occur. In extreme cases however you could possibly have them charged with GBH as a result of the mental anguise you suffered. Tom, London\"\"Malicious prosecution\"\" is a tort which is actionable through the civil courts. It is an action generally taken against the police (since they initiate the bulk of criminal prosecutions) but is available where a private prosecution has taken place. The complainant would have to show that there was manifestly no reason and that there was malice in the decision to launch the initial prosecution, a mere finding of not guilty would not be sufficient. Counter allegations are indeed often made where a prosecution arises out of a simple fight and this can indeed influence a police decision to take no action."

"text": "FIRST TIME IN PRISONRelease, Tag and Home Leave When you get to prison, one of the most important things on your mind is figuring out exactly when you will get out. As a general rule, if this is your first time in prison you will be released when you have served 50% of your sentence. The remaining 50% will be served outside prison but with certain obligations and restrictions. No matter how quickly you are going to reach the 50% of the sentence, you do not need to do anything to ensure that you are released (even the poorest prison admin will not mess up that release date). There are two further ways (one permanent and one temporary) in which you may leave prison before you complete the 50% of your sentence, and these require application and input from you if they are going to happen as early as possible. They are: Home Detention Curfew (HDC) the technical name for being on electronic tag Release on Temporary License (ROTL) the technical name for a collection of temporary releases (such as day or overnight releases)Please note: this is intended as a rough guide to the criteria and processes for someone at an early stage in the sentencing and prison process. It is not a comprehensive guide to the rules and regulations, and given the importance of this area, everyone should read the relevant Prison Service Orders and Prison Service Instructions (POSs and PSIs). Home Detention Curfew / Electronic Tagging HDC, or release on tag, is the system by which you are released early and fitted with an electronic tag around your ankle to monitor your adherence to a specified curfew. You will be required to stay at your chosen address, normally for 12 hours each day (overnight), and a machine will be installed in your house which is able to verify whether the tag (and you) are within range. A release on tag is available to prisoners with sentences between 3 months and 4 years and the eligible date for it is the later of 25% of the way through your sentence (equivalent to 50% of the way through your expected time in prison otherwise) and 4 months before 50% of your sentence."

Then he quickly mentions his death in Arkansas: In 1857, while serving a mission in Arkansas, he was shot in the back and killed by an assailant. In typical Mormon fashion, he leads the unwitting reader to feel anger about the death by mentioning that he was shot in the back Anyone here know the REAL reason this son-of-a-bitch was killed? Look here: http://www.helpingmormons.org/linnvol6chap16.html The \"\"assailant\"\" was none other than the HUSBAND of a woman that Parley Prick seduced into being his NINTH polygamous wife. IMO, Parley got what he deserved. Parley P. Pratt was sent to explore a southern route from Utah to California in 1849. He reached San Francisco from Los Angeles in the summer of 1851, remaining there until June, 1855. He was a fanatical defender of polygamy after its open proclamation, challenging debate on the subject in San Francisco, and issuing circulars calling on the people to repent as \"\"the Kingdom of God has come nigh unto you.\"\""

From having to hardwire a radio into what's left of a factory electrical system, to installing an alarm or even troubleshooting problems, it is important for someone to be able to tell what a wire is and what it is for. First,you'll need the proper tools. The proper tools are: A Digital Multi Meter A 1.5 Volt AA cell A pair of wire strippers A Digital Multi Meter is quite a handy tool, can be purchased at any hardware store, Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, or automotive store. With a basic DMM, you can measure AC and DC voltage, AC and DC current (up to a certain number of amps), and Resistance. Really good multimeters will let you measure other shit, but if you're having to read this, than you don't need to worry about that crap until much later. The 1.5 volt cell is mostly for speakers. You should not use this until you have positively verified that you most likely have a speaker using your DMM. The cell can help you determine the polarity of the speaker, and which speaker in your car you're onto. Finally, I cannot stress the importance of a good pair of strippers."

Many people allergic to Penicillin itself can also be allergic to other drugs in that class (Penicillin), as well as the cephalosporins (a class very similar to the penicillins). Only a few antibiotics are in the sulfa class, so that may not be a big deal at all. Even in your case, there are still quite a few antibiotic choices left. There is the fluoroquinolone class. This class includes ciprofloxacin (Cipro), levofloxacin (Levaquin) and the newer drugs moxifloxacin (Avelox) and gatifloxacin (Tequin).

When you apply to the Law Society, they do have a bit on the form where you explain your convictions (if you have any) which implies that you can, potentially, be a lawyer having been convicted of a crime. Firms also include a section in their application forms for you to disclose your criminal convictions, which again implies you can. However, I guess whether the Law Society decides to accept you or not (and you can't be a practising solicitor without Law Society membership) depends very much on the types of crimes committed, how old you were etc. I guess that they may be a little stricter on crimes that involved deception/fraud and so on, than for example, a driving offence.

Manslaughter can be committed in one of three ways:killing with the intent for murder but where a partial defence applies, namely loss of control, diminished responsibility or killing pursuant to a suicide pact.conduct that was grossly negligent given the risk of death, and did kill, is manslaughter (\"\"gross negligence manslaughter\"\"); andconduct taking the form of an unlawful act involving a danger of some harm, that resulted in death, is manslaughter (\"\"unlawful and dangerous act manslaughter\"\"). The term \"\"involuntary manslaughter\"\" is commonly used to describe a manslaughter falling within (2) and (3) while (1) is referred to as \"\"voluntary manslaughter\"\". There are of course other specific homicide offences, for example, infanticide, and causing death by dangerous or careless driving. For dangerous driving see CPS Guidance on Charging Offences Arising from Driving Incidents elsewhere in the Legal Guidance. Guidance on Corporate Manslaughter is available elsewhere in the Legal Guidance. Murder Subject to three exceptions (see Voluntary Manslaughter below) the crime of murder is committed, where a person:of sound mind and discretion (i.e. sane);unlawfully kills (i.e. not self-defence or other justified killing);any reasonable creature (human being);in being (born alive and breathing through its own lungs - Rance v Mid-Downs Health Authority (1991) 1 All ER 801 and AG Ref No 3 of 1994 (1997) 3 All ER 936;under the Queen's Peace;with intent to kill or cause grievous bodily harm (GBH). A 'year and a day'Where the act or omission occurred after 7 June 1996, death no longer needs to follow within a year and a day. Note however that the Attorney General's consent must be obtained before initiating proceedings, ifthe injury alleged to have caused the death was sustained more than three years before the death occurred; or the accused has previously been convicted of an offence committed in circumstances alleged to be connected to the death.

Thank you for your help. – Dee Nixon (3/12/02)Answer: Information below from Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida. Satsuma [sat-SOO-muh] – A loose-skinned orange, it is a type of seedless mandarin orange with thin skin. In most citrus producing areas, satsuma mandarin is the preferred name, but satsuma tangerine is also used. Grown in cool subtropical regions of Japan, Spain, central China, Korea, Turkey, along the Black Sea in Russia, southern South Africa, South America, and on a small scale in central California and northern Florida. The world’s largest satsuma industry is located in southern Japan where climatic conditions are favorable for the production of early ripening satsuma tangerines of high quality.

"text": "Crime1973Roe v. Wade Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite Roe v. Wade was a landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that established a woman’s legal right to an abortion. The Court ruled, in a 7-2 decision, that a woman’s right to choose an abortion was protected by the privacy rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution. The legal precedent for the decision was rooted in the 1965 case of Griswold v. Connecticut, which established the right to privacy involving medical procedures. Despite opponents’ characterization of the decision, it was not the first time that abortion became a legal procedure in the United States. In fact, for most of the country’s first 100 years, abortion as we know it today was not only not a criminal offense, it was also not considered immoral. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the word “abortion” referred only to the termination of a pregnancy after “quickening,” the time when the fetus first began to make noticeable movements. The induced ending of a pregnancy before this point did not even have a name–but not because it was uncommon. Women in the 1700s often took drugs to end their unwanted pregnancies. In 1827, though, Illinois passed a law that made the use of abortion drugs punishable by up to three years’ imprisonment. Although other states followed the Illinois example, advertising for “Female Monthly Pills,” as they were known, was still common through the middle of the 19th century."

"text": "January 22, 2014, is the 41st anniversary of one of the darkest days in American history — the day that the United States Supreme Court handed down the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion on demand. Since that date, almost 55 million unborn babies have been aborted in American wombs. America has been at war over abortion for the last four decades and more. When the U. S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in Roe v. Wade, the court’s majority attempted to put an end to the abortion question. To the contrary, that decision both enlarged and revealed the great moral divide that runs through the center of our culture. Most Americans seem completely unaware of the actual contours of the abortion debate as it emerged in the early 1970s. In 1973, the primary opposition to abortion on demand came from the Roman Catholic Church. Evangelicals — representative of the larger American culture — were largely out of the debate. At that time, a majority of evangelicals seemed to see abortion as a largely Catholic issue. It took the shock of Roe v. Wade and the reality of abortion on demand to awaken the Evangelical conscience."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Demonstrators at the 2004 March for Life The United States pro-life movement or the right-to-life movement or anti-abortion movement contains elements opposing elective or therapeutic abortion on both moral and sectarian grounds and supports its legal prohibition or restriction. Advocates generally argue that human life begins at conception and that the human zygote (or embryo or fetus) is a person and therefore has a right to life. The anti-abortion movement includes a variety of organizations, with no single centralized decision-making body. [ 1] There are diverse arguments and rationales for the anti-abortion stance. Some anti-abortion activists concede arguments for permissible abortions, including therapeutic abortions, in exceptional circumstances such as incest, rape, severe fetal defects or when the woman's health is at risk. Before the Supreme Court 1973 decisions in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, anti-abortion views predominated and found expression in state laws which prohibited or restricted abortions in a variety of ways. ( See Abortion in the United States .) The anti-abortion movement became politically active and dedicated to the reversal of the Roe v. Wade decision, which struck down most state laws restricting abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy. [ 2] [3] In the United States, the movement is associated with several Christian religious groups, especially the Catholic Church, and is frequently, but not exclusively, allied with the Republican Party. [ 4] [5] The movement is also supported by non-mainstream anti-abortion feminists. ["

Wade Tuesday marks the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. In a 7-2 ruling on January 22, 1973, the justices declared laws prohibiting abortion violated a woman's constitutional right to privacy. They also said states could regulate abortion procedures in the interest of a woman's health or in protecting a potential human life starting at the end of the pregnancy's first trimester. Abortion was legal under common law in the United States leading up to the 19th century, says Leslie Reagan, professor of history and law at the University of Illinois and author of \"\"When Abortion was a Crime.\"\" Early laws only prohibited the use of toxic substances to cause miscarriages after \"\"quickening,\"\" or when a woman feels her child move -- usually four or five months into the pregnancy. \"\" That was the moral point where people understood there was a life,\"\" Reagan says.

Wade, the 1973 landmark Supreme Court case that legalized abortion throughout the U. S., being overturned has never been more real. Anti-choice Catholic and documented sexist John Roberts now heads the U. S. Supreme Court as chief justice. And Harriet Miers, a right-wing Christian fundamentalist who Bush has nominated for the Supreme Court, seems destined to be the next anti-abortion justice. But even if Roe vs. Wade isn't formally overturned, the degree to which abortion is available in the U. S. today is an open question. Already, 87 percent of all U. S. counties don't have an abortion provider. After years of politicians chipping away with laws such as the federal late-term abortion ban and countless state restrictions, abortion rights have been rolled back beyond the point of real use by millions of women, particularly poor women and women of color. History shows that women have always tried to terminate unwanted pregnancies. When safe medical procedures are banned by law, they have resorted to dangerous--sometimes deadly--\"\"back-alley\"\" abortions. Such a world might be hard to imagine for the tens of millions of women in the U. S. who have never known a world without the right to legal abortion. A look at the horrors of illegal abortion in the years before Roe v. Wade shows that the health and welfare of women is at stake."

It also addressed the Court's need to balance a mother's rights to make private medical decisions with the state's right to protect the living child in utero. The balance was placed strongly in favor of a woman throughout the first 5-6 months of pregnancy, at which point the State's right to protect the child enters. Specific notation in the majority opinion was the rejection of an \"\"inherent right-to-life\"\" for a fetus. Personhood amendments seek to change that, by directly legislating a fetal \"\"right-to-life\"\", pushing that tenuous balance between privacy and the State's interest in protecting the life of a child far to the side of the growing fetus."

Sanders, (1964) required that Districts of the US House of Representatives be composed of approximately equal populations in order to ensure fair representation of US citizens. Wesberry was one of a pair of cases decided in 1964 that addressed reapportionment. The \"\"one man, one vote\"\" rule (also called \"\"one person, one vote\"\") derives from the US Supreme Court ruling in Reynolds v. Sims, 377 US 533 (1964) that held state political districts of unequal size resulted in under-representation of some citizens' interests and over-representation of others'. This was considered \"\"unrepublican,\"\" per Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution, and also unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause. In order to meet constitutional standards, districts had to be reapportioned so each had approximately equal population. Both Wesberry and Reynolds decisions were predicated on the landmark ruling in Baker v. Carr, 369 US 186 (1962), in which the US Supreme Court decided reapportionment of state legislative districts was not a \"\"political question\"\" that should be resolved through legislation.

About the Roe vs. Wade decision: Prior to 1973, abortions were permitted in certain states but restricted or almost banned in others. Every state legislature created its own rules. There was no consistency across the U. S. Then, in 1973, the U. S. Supreme Court delivered one of its most famous and influential rulings: Roe v. Wade. It declared a Texas anti-abortion statute unconstitutional and thereby affected abortion laws in many other states. 1The Supreme Court justices determined that, anywhere in the U. S.: During the first three months of pregnancy, a woman and her physician may jointly decide to terminate a pregnancy. No significant state interference is allowed. Later in pregnancy, states can restrict abortion access with laws but only if they are intended to protect the woman's health. Once the fetus is viable, an abortion must still be available if the woman's health or life are at risk. State governments are free to pass legislation that will allow or prohibit late-term abortions -- those on a viable fetus -- for other reasons."

[ print]Historical Background Since the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade, the legal, moral, and political controversy surrounding the abortion issue has polarized the American public. Two camps—one hailing Roe as a victory for \"\"choice,\"\" the other arguing that the decision deprives the unborn child of its \"\"right to life\"\"—squared off in the wake of the Court's decision. Their protracted political battle continues today. The deep political divisions that the case created, or revealed, reflect not only conflicting social and moral views, but conflicting views of the law as well. The case pitted two accepted doctrines against one another—the individual's \"\"right to privacy\"\" and the \"\"compelling and overriding interest\"\" of a State. Roe v. Wade sought an extension of the \"\"right to privacy,\"\" which the Court explicitly recognized for the first time in the case Griswold v. Connecticut, 1965. In that case, family counselors in Connecticut challenged a State law forbidding the use of \"\"any drug, medicinal article or instrument for the purpose of preventing conception.\"\" In Griswold, the Court decided that there was a \"\"right of privacy\"\" implied by the Bill of Rights. It ruled that the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 9th, and 14th amendments together create a right of \"\"marital privacy. \"\""

"text": "\"Jan 22 1973Supreme Court Issues its Decision on Roe v Wade Roe v. Wade, 410 U. S. 113 (1973), a landmark case decided by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of abortion, is one of the most controversial and politically significant cases in U. S. Supreme Court history. The court issued its decision on January 22, 1973, with a 7 to 2 majority vote in favor of Mc Corvey. Burger and Douglas' concurring opinion and White's dissenting opinion were issued separately, in the companion case of Doe v. Bolton. The Roe Court deemed abortion a fundamental right under the United States Constitution, thereby subjecting all laws attempting to restrict it to the standard of strict scrutiny. Although abortion is still considered a fundamental right, subsequent cases, notably Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Stenberg v. Carhart, and Gonzales v. Carhart have affected the legal standard. The opinion of the Roe Court, written by Justice Harry Blackmun, declined to adopt the district court's Ninth Amendment rationale, and instead asserted that the \"\"right of privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth Amendment's concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action, as we feel it is, or, as the District Court determined, in the Ninth Amendment's reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.\"\" Douglas, in his concurring opinion from the companion case Doe v. Bolton, stated more emphatically that, \"\"The Ninth Amendment obviously does not create federally enforceable rights.\"\" Thus, the Roe majority rested its opinion squarely on the Constitution's due process clause. The majority opinion is organized into twelve sections preceded by a brief preface; the first four sections provide background. Section I briefly outlines the challenged Texas abortion statutes."

Wade legalized abortion in the United States, which was not legal at all in many states and was limited by law in others. All state laws limiting women's access to abortions during the first trimester of pregnancy were invalidated by the Roe v. Wade decision. State laws limiting such access during the second trimester were upheld only when the restrictions were for the purpose of protecting the health of the pregnant woman. The Basis of the Roe v. Wade Decision The lower court's decision, in this case, was based on the Ninth Amendment in the Bill of Rights. It stated that \"\"the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people\"\" protected a person's right to privacy."

"text": "\"An Analysis of Roe and Related Cases Click to read with/without citations in text Click to open/close outline Introduction ↑ top Supreme Court in Winter - Shutterstock Images In Roe v. Wade (1973), the Supreme Court held that a pregnant woman has a fundamental privacy right to obtain an abortion. The Court’s opinion was written by Justice Harry Blackmun. The right to abortion, the Court cautioned, is not absolute and has to be balanced against the State’s countervailing interests in preserving the health of the woman and in protecting the “potential” life of the unborn child. The State’s interest in preserving the health of the woman becomes “compelling,” and thus weighty enough to support state regulation of abortion under the strict scrutiny standard of judicial review, after the first trimester, which is the stage of pregnancy when (at least at the time Roe was decided) abortion becomes as dangerous to the mother as carrying the child to term. 1 The State’s interest in protecting the “potential” life of the unborn child becomes “compelling” after viability, the stage of pregnancy when the unborn child is capable of independent life. 2Because neither interest is compelling before the second trimester, the State may not regulate abortion in the first trimester either to preserve the woman’s health or to protect the life of the unborn child. After the first trimester, however, the State may regulate the performance of an abortion, but only for the purpose of preserving the woman’s health, not for the purpose of protecting the life of the unborn child. After viability, the State may regulate, and even prohibit, abortion to protect the life of the unborn child, except when the performance of the abortion is necessary to preserve the life or health of the woman. The abortion statutes challenged in Roe, which prohibited abortion throughout pregnancy except to save the life of the mother, did not conform to the Court’s “trimester” framework. Accordingly, they were declared unconstitutional."

"text": "History of Abortion in the U. S. By OBOS Abortion Contributors | March 28, 2014 Last Revised on May 18, 2016Women around the world have used abortion to control their reproduction at every point in history, and in every known society — regardless of its legality. In the United States, abortion was widely practiced before about 1880, by which time most states had banned it except to save the life of the woman. Anti-abortion legislation was part of a backlash against the growing movements for suffrage and birth control — an effort to control women and confine them to a traditional childbearing role. This legislation was also a way for the medical profession to tighten its control over women’s health care, as midwives who performed abortions were a threat to the male medical establishment. Finally, with the declining birthrate among women from Northern European backgrounds in the late 1800s, the U. S. government and the eugenics movement were concerned about “race suicide” and wanted white U. S.-born women to reproduce. “When I was 15 and pregnant, abortion was illegal. I was denied any choice—I had a baby that I gave up for adoption. This experience has been a driving force in my life. I became an OB/GYN; I do abortions because I am totally committed to making sure that other women have the options that I didn’t have. ”Laws prohibiting abortion subjected women to desperation, fear, and shame, and took a heavy toll on women’s lives and health."

"text": "\"Roe V Wade - The Unconstitutional Decision By Carolyn Gargaro Rightgrrl Co-Founder February 3, 2000 Updated February 5, 2000The opinions stated in the following article are mine, however, I would like to thank James Goettel for helping with the relevant legal arguments, to ensure the legal accuracy of this article!Roe v Wade is undoubtedly one of the Supreme Court's most controversial decisions. Handed down in January of 1973, the Court declared, by a vote of 7 to 2, that abortion was a right guaranteed by the Constitution under an implied right to privacy. Justice Harry Blackmun, the author of the majority opinion, stated that the Constitution does not explicitly mention a right to privacy but, \"\"in varying contexts the Court or individual justices have, indeed, found at least the roots of that right.\"\" The right to an abortion was then considered an extension of this privacy right. As Blackmun stated,\"\"This right of privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth Amendment's concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action, as we feel it is, or, as the District Court determined, in the Ninth Amendment's reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.\"\" This decision made it unconstitutional for any state to restrict abortion in most circumstances. * Because of this decision, I continually hear pro-choice advocates claim that my, and other's, opposition to Roe is uninformed and misplaced, since Roe gave women a \"\"constitutuinal right\"\" to an abortion. However, Roe v Wade, the very case which made abortion a constitutional right, is in fact, not based in the Constitution. The Court's decision is riddled with contradictions, law-making decisions (which the Court is not supposed to do), and rather strange Constitutional interpretations. Let's start with the Fourteenth Amendment -- how does it supposedly relate to Roe?"

"text": "Immigration Attorney and Legal Assistant Indicted In Fraudulent Asylum Scheme Defendants Allegedly Coached Aliens to Tell False Stories of Fear of Persecution FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FEBRUARY 28, 2008Greenbelt, Maryland - A grand jury indicted Patrick G. Tzeuton, age 41, of Silver Spring, Maryland, and Henri Marcel Nzone, a/k/a Henri Marcel Nzone Nguessa, age 43 of Spencerville, Maryland, for conspiracy to prepare false asylum applications, immigration fraud and obstruction of official immigration proceedings, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein. The indictment was returned February 25, 2008 and was unsealed late yesterday upon the arrests of the defendants. U. S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein said, “The indictment alleges that the defendants fabricated asylum applications and coached aliens to tell false stories to immigration officials. The immigration process is not supposed to be a game in which people gain U. S. citizenship by making up the most compelling story. ”Tzeuton operated a law firm known as the Law Offices of Patrick Tzeuton & Associates (the “Tzeuton Law Firm”) located at 8121 Georgia Avenue, Suite 102 in Silver Spring and 8401 Colesville Road also in Silver Spring, which employed Henri Nzone as a legal assistant. Tzeuton represented hundreds of clients as an attorney in immigration matters before U. S. immigration officials. According to the 15 count indictment, from May 2002 to at least October 2005, Tzeuton and Nzone prepared false asylum applications, together with false and fraudulent supporting affidavits and documents, and presented them to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). The asylum applications contained false statements regarding (1) the alleged basis for the alien’s fear of future persecution in his or her home country; (2) the date and circumstances of the alien’s entries into the United States; and (3) the alien’s marital status, spouse, and children. In addition, Nzone translated and notarized false and fraudulent letters purporting to be from the alien’s relatives and other witnesses; and included false and fraudulent documents bearing forged notary stamps and signatures. The indictment alleges that Tzeuton and Nzone submitted multiple asylum applications to immigration officials containing similar and, in some instances, nearly identical false and fraudulent affidavits and other supporting documents and coached the aliens as to the false statements in their applications to prepare them for meetings with immigration officials and appearances in immigration court."

"text": "Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling Resentenced to 168 Months on Fraud and Conspiracy Charges U. S. Department of Justice June 21, 2013Office of Public Affairs (202) 514-2007/TDD (202) 514-1888WASHINGTON—Former Enron Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey K. Skilling has been resentenced to 168 months in prison on conspiracy, securities fraud, and other charges related to the collapse of Enron Corporation. In addition to the prison sentence, Skilling, 59, was ordered to forfeit approximately $42 million to be applied toward restitution for the victims of the fraud at Enron. Acting Assistant Attorney General Mythili Raman of the Criminal Division made the announcement after Skilling was resentenced before U. S. District Judge Sim Lake at the U. S. District Court in Houston. “The sentence handed down today ends years of litigation, imposes significant punishment upon the defendant, and precludes him from ever challenging his conviction or sentence,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Raman. “ With today’s court action, victims of Skilling’s crimes will finally receive more than $40 million that he owes them. We appreciate the hard work and dedication of all the prosecutors and agents who have handled this important case from the initial investigation to today’s successful conclusion. ”A federal jury found Skilling guilty in Houston on May 25, 2006, of one count of conspiracy, 12 counts of securities fraud, one count of insider trading, and five counts of making false statements to auditors. Judge Lake initially sentenced Skilling to serve 292 months of imprisonment on October 23, 2006. On January 6, 2009, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed Skilling’s convictions but vacated his sentence and remanded for a new sentencing hearing. The court of appeals concluded that the district court erred by increasing Skilling’s sentence for having substantially jeopardized the safety and soundness of a financial institution—that is, Enron’s pension plan."

"text": "The Eighth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States is one of the shortest amendments, but its interpretation has caused many debates. In this lesson, we'll review how the Supreme Court has interpreted its various clauses. Definition of the Eighth Amendment In 1994, Denis Mc Guire was convicted of the rape and murder of a 22-year-old pregnant woman. For his crime, he received the death sentence in the Ohio State Prison. In January of 2014, he was executed by the state of Ohio using a new combination of lethal drugs that were untested. During his execution, Mc Guire's body convulsed for 20 minutes, and his breathing was heavy as he obviously appeared to slowly be suffocating. The question arises then, did Mc Guire's execution, which many observers described as disturbing, constitute a break of the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution? The Eighth Amendment of the Constitution states:'Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. ' The amendment is meant to safeguard Americans against excessive punishments. The vagueness of its wording, however, has become a major issue of debate and interpretation in the Supreme Court."

His father, John Henry, was a planter, mapmaker, and justice of the peace who was educated at Kings College, Aberdeen; his mother, Sarah Winston Syme Henry, was a former widow from a prominent family. Henry was the second of their nine children. He was educated by his father and by his uncle the Reverend Patrick Henry, rector of the Hanover parish, Saint Paul's. Though Henry held true to his Anglican beliefs throughout his life (becoming an Episcopalian after the American Revolution ), as a youth he regularly accompanied his mother to sermons given by the evangelical Presbyterian Samuel Davies, whose oratorical example had a strong influence on Henry. In October 1754, at the age of eighteen, Henry married Sarah Shelton, a sixteen-year-old from Rural Plains, not far from Studley. He received as her dowry a 600-acre farm called Pine Slash and six slaves. Henry was remarkably candid about the contradiction that his role as a slaveholder posed for his religious and political ideals. \"\" Would anyone believe I am the master of slaves of my own purchase,\"\" he wrote in 1773. \"\" I will not, I cannot justify it … It is a debt we owe to the purity of our religion, to show that it is at variance with that law which warrants slavery. \"\""

Attorney and Assistant Charged in Asylum Fraud Case By Martha Neil Posted March 5, 2008, 9:55 pm CSTTweet reddit Upvote Downvote submit A Maryland attorney and his legal assistant are facing criminal charges for allegedly submitting falsified paperwork to federal agencies on behalf of asylum clients and coaching them to falsify their testimony. Indicted last week in federal court were Patrick G. Tzeuton, 41, of Silver Spring and Henri Marcel Nzone (or Nzone Nguessa), 43, of Spencerville. They are facing charges of conspiracy to prepare false asylum applications, immigration fraud and obstruction of official immigrant proceedings, according to the Gazette, a community newspaper, and a U. S. Department of Justice press release. “The indictment alleges that Tzeuton and Nzone submitted multiple asylum applications to immigration officials containing similar and, in some instances, nearly identical false and fraudulent affidavits,” the press release states. The two could not be reached by the newspaper for comment, and a lawyer for one declined to comment, saying that he had just gotten involved in the case. If convicted, they face maximum sentences of five years for conspiracy, 10 years for immigration fraud; and 20 years for obstruction. However, two other Washington, D. C.-area immigration lawyers convicted in similar cases were sentenced to between 18 and 78 months, according to the Gazette.

"text": "\"In This Entry Early Years Early Legal Career The American Revolution Establishing a State and National Government Later Years Time Line Further Reading Share It Early Years Play Audio Pole Green Church Patrick Henry was born on May 29, 1736, at Studley plantation in Hanover County. His father, John Henry, was a planter, mapmaker, and justice of the peace who was educated at Kings College, Aberdeen; his mother, Sarah Winston Syme Henry, was a former widow from a prominent family. Henry was the second of their nine children. He was educated by his father and by his uncle the Reverend Patrick Henry, rector of the Hanover parish, Saint Paul's. Though Henry held true to his Anglican beliefs throughout his life (becoming an Episcopalian after the American Revolution ), as a youth he regularly accompanied his mother to sermons given by the evangelical Presbyterian Samuel Davies, whose oratorical example had a strong influence on Henry. In October 1754, at the age of eighteen, Henry married Sarah Shelton, a sixteen-year-old from Rural Plains, not far from Studley. He received as her dowry a 600-acre farm called Pine Slash and six slaves. Henry was remarkably candid about the contradiction that his role as a slaveholder posed for his religious and political ideals. \"\" Would anyone believe I am the master of slaves of my own purchase,\"\" he wrote in 1773. \"\" I will not, I cannot justify it … It is a debt we owe to the purity of our religion, to show that it is at variance with that law which warrants slavery. \"\""

Now, however, Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, both jailed for their part in the murder of Surrey student Meredith Kercher, could claim millions in compensation after Italy’s top court cleared them unreservedly. Amanda Knox on trial in 2009 (AFP/Getty)In the latest twist to a case that has run for seven years, the pair were both acquitted by five judges at Rome’s supreme court. The judges said that there was insufficient evidence to convict either of them. The ruling draws a line under what has been a tortuous legal process, during which the pair were tried and found guilty, acquitted and freed on appeal, and then tried and found guilty again. During that time they have each spent four years in jail, for which their lawyers and families have now said they will be seeking hefty compensation. While no figures have been disclosed, payments for long periods wrongly spent in prison routinely run into seven figures. Amanda Knox led away from Perugia's Court of Appeal after the first session of her appeal in November 2010 (Getty)• Amanda Knox cleared: Who killed Meredith Kercher? The lawyers’ comments were in response to a verdict delivered by the judges late on Friday night after ten hours of legal discussion. That verdict prompted screams of delight from Ms Knox, 27, who heard the news at her mother’s home in the middle-class suburb of Arbor Heights, Seattle."

Patrick was born at Main Creek, near Dungog, New South Wales, on 28 September 1863. James's birth was not registered. After convictions for stock stealing in northern New South Wales, they overlanded in 1891 with their father to the Springsure district of Queensland, being joined later by their younger brothers Thomas and John. Living by bush work, they also raced horses and opened books on the local race meetings. Moving to the Upper Warrego in 1893, they occupied blocks in the Hoganthulla and Killarney resumptions and later the Ralph block which adjoined William Collins and Sons' Carnarvon-Babbiloora consolidation. With convicted cattle duffers Thomas Stapleton, John and Richard Riley and others, they launched a reign of 'mild terror' from their base on Ralph, stealing cattle from Carnarvon and other neighbouring stations. During this period both brothers served prison terms. When neighbouring cattlemen protested, the government terminated the Kenniffs' lease of the Ralph block and established the Upper Warrego police station thereon. The Kenniffs now assumed a more truculent attitude, riding armed through the district, and moved their base across the Dividing Range to Lethbridge's Pocket."

Libby was indicted by a federal grand jury on five felony counts of making false statements to federal investigators, perjury for lying to a federal grand jury, and obstruction of justice for impeding the course of a federal grand jury investigation concerned with the possibly illegal leaking by government officials of the classified identity of a covert agent of the CIA, Valerie Plame Wilson, the wife of former Ambassador Joseph C.

He was acquitted of one count of making false statements. Libby was sentenced to 30 months in prison and fined $250,000.

"text": "A divorce decree declares a divorce finalized and provides the terms of the divorce. It may contain information about child support payments, alimony and division of property. Your divorce decree may be necessary to prove that you have a legal right to a certain piece of property; to use as evidence in a petition to change back to your maiden name or if you wish to get remarried. State laws vary regarding how long these records must be kept by attorneys, but if your case was handled by an attorney, this may be the easiest starting point for obtaining your decree. Step 1Contact the attorney who handled your divorce to see if she has a copy of the decree. If your attorney is deceased or retired, she may have given her records to another lawyer in the practice. If so, contact that attorney to see if he has your records. Divorce is never easy, but we can help. Learn More Step 2Ask the clerk of court in the county in which the divorce was filed about the procedure to obtain a copy of your divorce decree. Some counties require photo identification and proof of your current address."

"text": "\"What are the residency and filing requirements for a servicemember to file for a divorce? The state of New Jersey will allow a military member or a spouse to file for a divorce where he or she is stationed, even if neither the servicemember nor the spouse is a resident of New Jersey. New Jersey will often reduce or eliminate the residency requirement for military divorces. A servicemember or a spouse has a choice of the following three states in which to file for a divorce: The state where the spouse resides. The state where the servicemember is stationed. The state where the servicemember claims legal residency. This is where the servicemember's home state, or where he or she plans to live after discharge or retirement. In my experience military divorce cases and child support disputes can become extremely convoluted. In a typical military divorce, the parties are divorced in the county court where the military base is located. Almost invariably, both spouses move back to their home state, or the servicemember is transferred to another base out of state."

"text": "A simple case is one where you and your spouse reach an uncomplicated resolution to your divorce case. A divorce such as this is considered “uncontested.” In California, an uncontested divorce could mean one of two things: You and your spouse agree on how to handle property, money, and parenting issues. In some cases, this means neither party will need to file a response to court filing. Your spouse does not disagree with you on your requests and is not likely to file forms in court saying so. In a situation where the spouse does not file a response, the Petitioner will receive a “default” judgment. With an uncontested case, you may not need to have the court hear your case. Instead, the case can be handled by mail or by brief contact with the judge or the judge’s clerk. A case becomes “contested” when you and your spouse disagree on one or more issues, such as property, finances or child custody. Switching from Contested Divorce to Uncontested Divorce In California, both contested divorce and uncontested divorce are common."

"text": "\"Divorce Mediation FAQMediation allows separating and divorcing couples to take control of planning their own lives and make good decisions about their future. It is especially beneficial for parents, who though separating, will need to continue making joint decisions about their children well into the future. The decision-making process learned in mediation can serve as a model for future communications. Also, mediated settlements have a consistently higher compliance rate because the husband and wife have created their own agreement. Here is a collection of Frequently Asked Questions about Divorce Mediation. What Does The Mediator Do? A family law mediator is a neutral party specially trained to help couples resolve the issues in their divorce. The mediator facilitates the communication between the parties by making sure each party is given an uninterrupted time to speak, asking a party to restate or explain a point when necessary, and asking questions to make communication clear. The mediator also provides information about the legal system, how issues may be viewed by lawyers or judges, and what alternatives there are for solving issues. When necessary, the mediator will refer the couple to third party experts for services such as appraisals."

"text": "770-609-1247 | Divorce and Adultery – Georgia Divorce Lawyers and Attorneys Coleman Legal Group, LLCPhone: 770-609-1247Adultery: In the context of Georgia divorce law, adultery is defined as sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than the spouse. Specifically, under Georgia divorce law, neither fellatio nor cunnilingus (otherwise know under Georgia law as sodomy) are grounds for divorce. Likewise, under Georgia divorce law, fellatio, cunnilingus and sodomy (oral or anal sex) are not considered adultery. Adultery requires some penetration of the female sex organ by the male sex organ. However, an orgasm by the male nor female is not required for adultery. Proving Adultery: In proving adultery in a divorce case, names, dates, places, the identification of your spouse’s illicit lover, and related evidence have to be brought out and made part of a the public court record. In the event your spouse is open about the affair or is careless in her / his conduct you will find collecting evidence to prove the adultery to be much easier. You may not even need to hire a private detective. However, you will likely still need witness. The best witness is corroborative witness who has no stake in whether the adultery is proven or not, such as a mutual friend, neighbor, acquaintance an unconcerned person (such as a waiter or hotel concierge) or co-worker."

"text": "\"State Courts In-Depth Download article as a PDFFrom marriage licenses to divorces, and major felonies to speeding tickets, the vast majority of legal cases in the United States are handled in state courts. Following is an overview of state courts -- their powers, structures, and more. State Court Jurisdiction Of cases filed annually in the U. S., about one million cases are filed in federal courts, while more than 30 million are filed in state courts. Most legal cases are handled at the state court level because state courts have power (or\"\"jurisdiction\"\") to hear almost all types of cases involving citizens of that state -- including almost all of the following types of cases: Family law cases (including divorce, child custody cases, and adoptions)Personal injury cases (i.e. lawsuits for injury from car accidents and defective products)Estate planning and probate matters Criminal law matters (including all felonies and misdemeanors that arise from state criminal statutes)Traffic violations State courts do not have power to hear certain kinds of cases -- including those involving bankruptcy, immigration, patents, copyrights, and violations of federal criminal law. These types of cases are handled exclusively by federal courts. Structure of State Court Systems The specific structure of court systems will vary from state to state, but every state court operates on a number of levels, usually differentiated either by the type of matter being heard or the amount of money that is at stake. Using the state of Massachusetts as an example, the structure of its state court system is as follows from highest to lowest level: Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Massachusetts Appeals Court Massachusetts Trial Courts - Second Level: consisting of the Superior Court (which hears civil matters where over $25,000 is at issue; and handles most felony cases), the Housing Court, and the Land Court. Massachusetts Trial Courts - First Level: consisting of the District Court (which hears civil matters where under $25,000 is at issue; handles all criminal misdemeanors, and certain lower-level felonies; also includes small claims and traffic courts), the Juvenile Court, and the Probate and Family Court. In some states, the lower level of a trial court is called the \"\"municipal\"\" or \"\"limited jurisdiction\"\" court, while the higher trial court is called the \"\"superior\"\" or \"\"general jurisdiction\"\" court. Whatever the name given to each court level, almost all state courts function on at least three tiers: trial, intermediate appellate, and high appellate."

"text": "\"On behalf of Alexandra White of Law Office of Alexandra White, PC posted in divorce on Saturday, March 14, 2015. A Magistrate is a judicial officer who can resolve the limited types of disputes that are listed in the Colorado Rules for Magistrates. The most common function of Magistrates in family law cases in Colorado are Temporary Orders hearings in divorces and Allocation of Parental Responsibility proceedings and post-decree matters. Magistrates can preside over types of proceedings that are not specificaly permitted in the Colorado Rules for Magistrates but only if the parties consent. Buyer beware, in at least one Denver Metropolitan County, the judiciary has issued a policy that you have consented to a Magistrate handling your matter if you don't object. In other words, the County is defining \"\"consent\"\" as \"\"failing to object\"\" within 14 days of the proceeding commencing. Most attorneys feel that there is a difference between \"\"consent\"\" and failing to object but thus far, this practice remains in place and will likely continue to do so until successfully challenged. Make sure you read all of the documents you get from your judge or Magistrate very carefully so that you know whether you are required to \"\"speak up or forever hold your peace\"\" with respect to whether a Magistrate will hear you matter. The primary difference between Magistrates and Judges is how a party appeals or seeks a review of an Order issued. If a Judge issues a decision that a party wishes to challenge, the party must appeal that decision must bring their appeal before the Court of Appeals."

"text": "\"THE COURT SYSTEM - HOW IT WORKS - WHAT IT MEANSTHE COURT SYSTEM - HOW IT WORKS - WHAT IT MEANS The legal system in the U. S. is based on the philosophy that the true facts of a given situation--and hence justice--will emerge if the parties to a court action act as adversaries rather than as cooperative participants. The theory is that if each side vigorously advances its own version of the facts, an impartial third person or group of persons (judge or jury) will sift out the truth. Critics point out that this system depends on equality of representation (assuming the parties are proceeding through advocates). If one advocate is better than the other, or has more money to prepare the case, the truth may not emerge. The adversary system's use has been especially criticized in family law cases on the ground that it intensifies divisions within a family rather than ameliorates them. Because cooperation between former spouses is necessary if children are involved, the adversary system seems particularly inappropriate in these instances. In response, a number of innovative procedures are being used to help spouses and domestic partners resolve their disputes without recourse to the traditional adversarial approach. For instance, many states require or encourage parents with children who can't agree on custody and visitation to meet with a court mediator. In this meeting, the mediator helps the parties to explore their differences and craft their own solutions. And in many communities, private mediation services are increasingly available for both court referrals and spouses to use before either files for a divorce."

Understanding the complex issues in a military divorce will lead to better decisions and fairer outcomes. This article highlights some of the most common issues. Remember, a military divorce is not exactly like other divorces; it involves additional legal issues. In what state should you file for divorce? The law typically allows for the filing of a divorce in the state where either the husband or the wife has a legal residence. The person starting the divorce usually files in the state where he/she lives when that is the state of legal residence of the parties. Before choosing where to start the divorce, it’s important to know how that state handles the division of military pensions. The federal law governing the division of military pensions is the “Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act” (USFSPA). This federal law says that the state of legal residence of the military member always has the power to divide the military pension in a divorce."

The petition sets the case in motion; eventually, the court will schedule a hearing to approve the divorce settlement. Louisiana has residency requirements for people seeking a divorce as well as laws governing how property should be divided and the amount of alimony and/or child support that one party owes the other. Residency Louisiana has some basic requirements concerning divorce cases. According to state law, you must be a resident of the state for at least a year before you may file a divorce petition. In addition, if you have children under 18 years of age, you must wait at least a year before the court may grant the divorce. If you don’t have children, this waiting period is six months. You must be separated from your spouse during this period of time. Divorce is never easy, but we can help.

"text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture Autosomal DNA Test for Genealogy: What it Can Tell You Learn About Your Family History Share Flipboard Email Print Jack Hollingsworth / Getty Imagesby Kimberly Powell Updated April 10, 2018In the nucleus of each cell, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. Twenty-two of these matched pairs of chromosomes are called \"\"autosomes,\"\" while the 23rd pair determines your sex (X or Y). Autosomal DNA is inherited from both parents and includes some contributions from further generations (grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on). Your autosomes essentially contain a complete genetic record, with all branches of your ancestry contributing a piece of your autosomal DNA. How It's Used Autosomal DNA tests can be used to search for relative connections along any branch of your family tree. Unless the connection is so far back that the shared DNA has essentially been eliminated through too many generations of recombination, any autosomal match between two individuals indicates a possible genetic connection. There is nothing in this test that will tell you which branch of your family the match is on, however. Therefore, having your parents, grandparents, cousins, and other family members tested will help you to narrow down potential matches. How It Works For each of your 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes, you received one from your mother and one from your father. Before they passed these chromosomes down to you, the contents were randomly jumbled in a process called \"\"recombination\"\" (this is why you and your siblings are all a little different from each other)."

Utilizing cutting edge science and the massive catalog of DNA samples Ancestry DNA has collected from around the world, the newly evolved Ancestry DNA is now a more comprehensive DNA test. More detail – 26 regions and populations. Now with six detailed countries/regions within Western Africa and refinements across Europe including Ireland and Great Britain broken out, as well as Southern Europe now being detailed into Italy/Greece and the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal. ) More of the story – not just more detailed regions, but we’ve also included interesting information about each of the ethnicities reported. So, you can learn more about both the genetics and the history of the regions. The history of the people and the places plays a big part in your DNA ethnicity results. More help along the way – We’ve included links to helpful information in order to help you understand how the ethnicity estimate is determined. From some more straightforward explanations, all the way down to the algorithms, we’ve shown our work and you have access to it all. More detail – 26 regions and populations."

The segments are considered to match if all the alleles on a paternal or maternal chromosome are identical (barring rare mutations and genotyping errors) and if the minimum threshold conditions set by the testing company have been met. Everyone has two copies of each chromosome – one chromosome inherited from their father and one chromosome inherited from their mother. Matching segments can be on half-identical regions (HIRs) (matches on the paternal or maternal chromosome) or fully identical regions (FIRs) (matches on both the paternal and maternal chromosome). FIRs are generally only seen in full siblings and double cousins, but are sometimes found in more distant relatives if the individual comes from an endogamous (intermarrying) population. The length of an IBD segment can be measured in centi Morgans (a unit of genetic distance) or in megabases (a unit of physical distance). The three major autosomal DNA testing companies ( 23and Me, Ancestry DNA and Family Tree DNA) all now report segment sizes in centi Morgans. Ancestry DNA originally used megabases for their matching algorithms but converted to centi Morgans in about January 2014. Both 23and Me and Family Tree DNA provide information on the matching segments which can be downloaded into a spreadsheet, and they also provide chromosome browsers which allow customers to see a visual representation of the matching half-identical DNA segments."

Let me explain. If we were to take a look at European history, we would see many different empires and conquests. This left bits of different regions sprinkled throughout the continent. Those in Ireland may not have 100% Irish in their DNA. They may have Great Britain, Norwegian, Western European, Italian, and Iberian Peninsula along with their Irish. Different regions can also show up as they closely neighbor other regions and they are similar. Let's look at one example, if you can trace your family back to England and Ireland, but have trace amounts of Italy, it doesn't necessarily mean you have a more recent Italian ancestor. It could show that there was some Roman influence hundreds of years ago in the area where your ancestors were from. Another example would be something I found in my own DNA."

John Q. Public was becoming comfortable with DNA. In 2017 – DNA Is Mainstream If you’re a genealogist, you certainly know about DNA testing, and you’re behind the times if you haven’t tested. DNA testing is now an expected tool for genealogists, and part of a comprehensive proof statement that meets the genealogical proof standard which includes “a reasonably exhaustive search.” If you haven’t applied DNA, you haven’t done a reasonably exhaustive search.

"text": "\"How Much DNA Do You Share With Your Blood Relatives? How much genetic material do you share with your biological relatives? Take a look at the family tree below and the figure in the red box is the percentage of genes your body has in common with your blood relatives. For example, your first cousin has 12.5% of the genes you do (implying, inversely, that 87.5% of their genes are different). Your third cousin twice removed, on the other hand, would have only 0.195% of the same genes, meaning 99.805% of their genes would be different. This assumes, of course, that you have no double relations in your family tree (e.g., sharing a great-great grandmother from two sides of your family tree). The chart also ignores relatively rare phenomenon such as the elusive double cousin. These relationships arise when two siblings of one family reproduce with two siblings of another family. This results in the children being related to each other through both parents, and sharing the same grandparents. As a result, double cousins are genetically equal to half-siblings, sharing double the genetic material normally seen in first cousins."

"text": "DNA paternity testing can prove paternity to within 99.99% accuracy, more than acceptable as legal proof of fatherhood. What happens, however, if the suspected father is not available to provide a sample, or refuses to do so? There is no better method of proving that someone is the biological father of his child than DNA testing. The DNA of the father and child can be compared to within 99.99% certainty, more than enough for courts legally to pronounce the biological father of a child – or even to legally deny it. Many men are reluctant to take part in such tests for their own reasons, and some may be deceased or even unable to be contacted for one reason or another. In such cases there are ways of collecting samples and having the DNA test carried out. Testing Blood Relatives to Prove Paternity A child’s paternity can be proved through a technique known as DNA relationship testing, which involves testing relatives of the alleged father. For this to be relevant there must be a proven relationship from the person tested to the father. Grandparents, uncles, aunts, and even cousins, nieces and nephews of the child can be used as subjects. The match might not be perfect but there is only so far that such test can go, although for any but legal reasons, such matches are more or less conclusive."

"text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture Autosomal DNA Test for Genealogy: What it Can Tell You Learn About Your Family History Share Flipboard Email Print Jack Hollingsworth / Getty Imagesby Kimberly Powell Updated April 10, 2018In the nucleus of each cell, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. Twenty-two of these matched pairs of chromosomes are called \"\"autosomes,\"\" while the 23rd pair determines your sex (X or Y). Autosomal DNA is inherited from both parents and includes some contributions from further generations (grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on). Your autosomes essentially contain a complete genetic record, with all branches of your ancestry contributing a piece of your autosomal DNA. How It's Used Autosomal DNA tests can be used to search for relative connections along any branch of your family tree. Unless the connection is so far back that the shared DNA has essentially been eliminated through too many generations of recombination, any autosomal match between two individuals indicates a possible genetic connection. There is nothing in this test that will tell you which branch of your family the match is on, however. Therefore, having your parents, grandparents, cousins, and other family members tested will help you to narrow down potential matches. How It Works For each of your 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes, you received one from your mother and one from your father. Before they passed these chromosomes down to you, the contents were randomly jumbled in a process called \"\"recombination\"\" (this is why you and your siblings are all a little different from each other)."

I already had a tree at Ancestry, which made their service attractive, but I had heard 23andme provides more information than the Ancestry DNA test. Eventually I ended up testing with both, primarily because I couldn’t find any information on which was the best DNA test. Now having tried Ancestry DNA and 23andme’s test, I thought it might be helpful to share an in-depth review and comparison of the two services. First, the basics, what does Ancestry DNA or 23andme DNA testing cost and what do you get with each? Ancestry DNA: $99: Ethnic mix profile, DNA matches, DNA circles, genetic communities (new 2017) and raw DNA. The Ancestry DNA test is actually cheaper via Amazon Prime, because you get free shipping, but if you order direct from Ancestry DNA you can get 10% off with this referral link. With both options it’s worth checking out Ebates. They are a cash-back shopping site that pays quarterly via Pay Pal. Ancestry DNA is usually at around 7.5% cash back, and Amazon is about 3%.23andme: $99 plus shipping (for me that came to $108): Ethnic mix profile, ancestry timeline (new 2017), maternal/paternal line origin (paternal for males only, requires Y chromosome, updated 2017), Neanderthal percentage, top surnames, DNA matches, and raw DNA."

To supplement the results a relationship test, such as a sibling test, grandmother test, aunt test, or cousin test While DNA parentage tests (paternity test and maternity test) can always provide an absolutely conclusive result regarding parentage, other relationship tests types are not as discriminating as the DNA parentage tests. DNA Sibling tests, Grandparentage tests, Aunt/Uncle tests and Cousin tests are usually only ordered when the parents are not available for testing and there is no other choice but to test other relatives because these tests are not as discriminating as a parentage test. If a kinship test is performed and the result is not conclusive enough, mt DNA testing can be considered as a supplemental test type for the kinship test to see if individuals are linked on their maternal line. All individuals (both male and female) who have descended from the same maternal lineage will have the same mt DNA profile. If two individuals do not have the same mt DNA profile, it would conclusively confirm that they are not related along their direct maternal line. Here are some examples of situations where a mt DNA sequencing test may assist in supplementing a relationship test:a) To check the relationship between a grandchild and a maternal grandmother (mother’s mother) If a Grandmother test between an alleged maternal grandmother (mother of alleged mother) and an alleged grandson or granddaughter does not provide a conclusive result, comparing their mt DNA to see if it matches can provide further confirmation. If the alleged maternal grandmother and grandchild have completely different mt DNA profiles, it will conclusively confirm that the alleged grandchild is not the true biological grandchild of the alleged maternal grandmother.b) To check whether two siblings have the same mother If a sibling test between two alleged siblings (either gender) does not provide a conclusive result, additional mt DNA testing can be performed. If the two siblings do not have the same mt DNA profile, it will conclusively confirm that they do not share the same biological mother.c) To check whether cousins have the same maternal grandmother (to see if their biological mothers are sisters) If a cousin test between two cousins (either gender) who allegedly have the same maternal grandmother does not provide a conclusive result, additional mt DNA testing can be performed. If the two cousins do not have the same mt DNA profile, it will conclusively confirm that they do not have the same maternal grandmother and that their biological mothers are not sisters.d) To check whether an alleged maternal aunt or uncle (sibling of alleged mother) is the biological maternal aunt or uncle of a child If an aunt or uncle test performed between an alleged maternal aunt or uncle (sibling of alleged mother) and a child (either gender) does not provide a conclusive result, additional mt DNA testing can be performed."

"text": "\"When your company is looking for a property to lease, you may encounter a type of lease known as a triple net lease. Triple net leases are a popular lease structure in commercial leases of freestanding buildings, yet companies should carefully consider entering into these agreements, as there are particular risks associated with triple net leases. Most notably, they can require you to take on unexpectedly high liabilities. If you are considering renting a property through a triple net lease, you should make sure to have an experienced real estate lawyer review the contract before signing. Through Priori, you can connect with a top real estate lawyer who can evaluate and negotiate your triple net lease. What Is A Triple Net Lease? Triple net leases (also known as triple-N leases, NNN leases, and even \"\"hell or high water leases”) require the tenant to be solely responsible for all of the costs of the property being leased in addition to the rent. This places a great deal of the property liability on the tenant using the property rather than the landlord renting it out. Tenants and Triple Net Leases Triple net leases are named that way because they require the tenant to cover three net costs in addition to rent, utilities, and other costs generally assumed by the renter under standard property lease agreements. Under triple net leases, tenants are responsible for the following three nets or costs: Property Insurance."

"text": "March 5, 2014 By Robert Schmidt 11 Comments Understanding Net Operating Income in Commercial Real Estate Understanding net operating income (NOI) is essential when it comes to investment commercial real estate. Without a firm grasp of net operating income, commonly referred to as just “NOI”, it’s impossible to fully understand investment real estate transactions. In this article we’ll take a closer look at net operating income, discuss the components of NOI, and also clear up some common misconceptions. Net Operating Income Formula Net operating income (NOI) is simply the annual income generated by an income-producing property after taking into account all income collected from operations, and deducting all expenses incurred from operations. The net operating income formula is as follows: Net operating income is positive when operating income exceeds gross operating expenses, and negative when operating expenses exceed gross operating income. For the purposes of real estate analysis, NOI can either be based on historical financial statement data, or instead based on forward-looking estimates for future years (also known as a proforma ). Net operating income measures the ability of a property to produce an income stream from operation. Unlike the cash flow before tax (CFBT) figure calculated on a typical real estate proforma, the net operating income figure excludes any financing or tax costs incurred by the owner/investor. In other words, the net operating income is unique to the property, rather than the investor. Net Operating Income and Lease Analysis Before we go over each of the components of NOI, let’s first take a quick detour into the world of commercial real estate leases."

Special rights which are available to residential tenants are not extended to commercial tenants, who are presumed to be sophisticated and strong, not needing any protection from the law. Except for the huge corporate tenant, like the anchor tenant in a shopping mall, the landlord calls the shots, from the beginning and long past the end. As a result, business tenants are more vulnerable and abused than residential tenants. The information below is designed to help you avoid the problems, as well as to deal effectively with them when they arise. You knew to look for information on the Internet."

"text": "What is a 'Gross Lease'A gross lease is a type of commercial lease where the landlord pays for the building's property taxes, insurance and maintenance. A gross lease can be modified to meet the needs of a particular building's tenants. For example, a gross lease may require the tenant to pay the utility bills. Next Up Modified Gross Lease Double Net Lease Single Net Lease BREAKING DOWN 'Gross Lease'The opposite of a gross lease is a net lease. Under a net lease, the tenant is responsible for some of the additional costs associated with the property. There are three types of net leases: single net, double net and triple net. Under a single net lease, the tenant pays rent plus property taxes. Under a double net lease, the tenant pays rent plus property taxes and insurance. Under a triple net lease, the tenant pays for rent plus property taxes, insurance and maintenance. A gross lease allows the tenant to pay one flat fee in exchange for use of the property."

"text": "\"Related Articles California Tenant Rights for Breaking a Lease How to Write a Landlord's Lease Agreement How Can a Tenant Break a Rental Lease? Reasons a Tenant Can Break Lease Agreement In the world of commercial real estate, tenants almost always sign leases that define the terms of how they will occupy the space. While leases usually have a rate and a term, they also specify whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for paying the expenses of running and maintain the tenant's share of the building. While full service gross leases leave the landlord responsible for everything and triple net leases leave the tenant responsible for everything, modified gross leases fall somewhere in between. Common Area Maintenance Both triple net and modified gross leases typically have the tenant paying for their share of Common Area Maintenance. CAM is the cost of maintaining the shared areas of the building. In an office building, for example, CAM would include such things as vacuuming the halls, maintaining the lawn and striping the parking ramp, since every tenant shares those amenities and benefits from them. It can also include things that benefit individual tenants but are billed to the building. For example, many buildings with a single meter include their overall water bill in their CAM charges even though tenants may have their own plumbing fixtures. Pro-Rata Shares When a 20,000 square foot building has three tenants -- one in 11,000 rentable square feet, one in 7,000 rentable square feet and one in 2,000 -- and gets one property tax bill, how does it get divided up?"

Commercial leases typically require the landlord, the tenant or, in most cases, both to carry insurance to cover the building and the parties in the lease. The insurance clause in the lease specifies what coverage is required and who is responsible to pay for it. Some insurance requirements are common, such as property damage and liability coverage, while others are more specific to leased space, such as loss of rent or business interruption coverage. Who Pays For every one of these types of coverage, one of the main elements in a commercial lease is defining who pays for them. Generally, in a full service or gross lease, the landlord pays for every expense of running the building, including insurance. In triple net leases, on the other hand, the tenant pays for her share of every expense, including the landlord's and tenant's insurance policies. However, for leases that fall in between the two extremes, these terms can be negotiated. Further complicating matters, the entity that the coverage protects has nothing to do with the entity paying for it. For example, a tenant-paid liability policy should cover both the tenant and the landlord."

Broker/Agent Rancho Cucamonga, CAView Profile In a triple net lease, the tenant is responsible for all ongoing expenses, taxes, utilities, insurance payments, maintenance, and repairs. At the same time, the landlord collects monthly net rental income just as he or she would with a traditional real estate investment. In other words, a triple net lease allows the landlord to profit from leasing his or her property without any obligation to cover most of the real estate costs. ( The landlord is only responsible for the roof and structure of the building, and occasionally parking. ) May 26, 2010 Report Abuse Michael F. Broker/Agent Boynton Beach, FLView Profile There are several different types of leases (e.g. \"\"Full Service,\"\" \"\"NNN (Triple Net),\"\" \"\"NN (Double Net),\"\" and \"\"Gross,\"\" to name a few. You will also find that different landlords define them in different ways. It's always best to ask \"\"What else besides the quoted rent will the tenant have to pay to the landlord, and to third party providers?\"\" That question will get you all of the expenses you'll have to pay. Full Service leases typically include all of your costs other than sales tax, where applicable. That is, your rent includes the base rent that goes to the landlord, the real estate taxes, insurance, CAM/operating expenses, and electric service and janitorial for the common areas and tenant space."

Slakoff, CIC, CWCA Account Executive, Cavignac & Associates © 2007 Cavignac & Associates—All Rights Reserved Entering into a building lease can create major financial loss exposures for landlords or tenants. The approach a business takes with regards to a real estate lease should mirror its overall risk management philosophy. The following discussion will give some background and an overview of the risk management issues involved in the real estate lease exposure. Background A real estate lease is a written or oral (not recommended) contract in which the landlord (lessor) transfers the use of all or part of its real property to the tenant (lessee) for a certain period and for a certain consideration (rent). The main objective of a lease agreement is to determine the legal rights and duties of the parties involved. It is important to remember that provisions contained within a lease can be written to yield the maximum economic benefit to each of the parties. It is imperative you are aware of the liabilities you have assumed, especially if the other party has any leverage in the negotiation. Indemnification Provisions Most leases require tenants to assume responsibility for liability arising out of an occurrence in connection with the leased premises, except for liability resulting from the sole negligence of the landlord. This is referred to as an intermediate hold harmless agreement and is common in real estate leases. As an example, if a third party is injured on the property and the landlord was 10% responsible and the tenant 90% responsible, the tenant will be responsible for 100% of the injury."

"text": "\"The Synthetic Lease: An Introduction and Practice Guide The following is intended to provide a basic overview of the synthetic lease and to provide some practice guides on the increasing challenge in structuring such leases both to comply with evolving accounting requirements and, at the same time, to achieve a triple net lease structure under which \"\"no lessee in its right mind\"\" would fail to exercise its end of lease purchase option. Special Accounting Notice The Equipment Leasing and Finacing Association (ELFA) and its Financial Accounting Committee met with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the \"\"FASB\"\") in Norwalk, Connecticut on February 23, 1999. The Board told ELFA representatives that, while reconsideration of SFAS 13 is currently not on the Board's project agenda, there is virtual consensus within the Board's membership and staff that the current lease accounting standard \"\"doesn't work\"\" and needs to be changed. A G4+1 working group, comprised of the U. S., U. K., Canada, Australia (and New Zealand) and the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC), is currently developing a paper, which, in all likelihood, will be the starting point for discussions at the IASC on the completion of any change in an international standard. Furthermore, FASB has issued an Exposure Draft also dated February 23, 1999 addressing Consolidated Financial Statements which is likely to have an immediate impact on many synthetic lease structures. Accountants, not lawyers, will drive this structure, but there is no reason why lawyers need be passive passengers. Creative solutions abound for most problems raised by the interaction of net lease and accounting requirements and creativity remains the service of good counsel. Overview Dual Character for Lessee A synthetic lease is a financing contract drafted from the lessee's perspective so that it is treated as an operating lease for financial accounting purposes and a loan for federal income tax purposes. The result is that lessee does not reflect either the debt or the asset on its balance sheet other than in the footnotes. For federal income tax purposes, however, lessee has retained such rights and burdens with respect to the asset that lessee is considered the owner of the asset and a borrower with respect to the lease obligation, thereby retaining for lessee the tax benefits of an owner."

"text": "Understanding each type of commercial lease By Lease Matrix + On October 22, 2013 · 3 Comments The dotted line As a tenant, it is important to understand the type of lease structure the landlord is proposing and how it will impact your bottom line. There are 3 primary types of leases – Gross, Full Service and Net – as well as modified versions of each. Gross Lease . A lease in which the tenant pays a flat sum for rent out of which the landlord must pay all expenses such as taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities, etc. Under this lease structure, all the tenant is responsible paying for is their stated rental rate, all other expenses are borne by the landlord. Full Service Lease . A lease which the tenant pays an all-inclusive rental rate which includes operating expenses and real estate taxes for the first year or Base Year. Under this lease structure, the tenant pays the base rent in the first year, but then also is responsible for reimbursing the landlord for any costs over a Base Year or a predetermined Expense Stop. To learn more about base year and expense stops, take a look at our post What the Heck is an Expense Stop?!. Variations of the Gross or Full Service lease Sub-variants of Gross (i.e. a “Modified Gross” lease) or Full Service Leases will feature much of the same structure outlined above, but have one or more expense items which are excluded from the clause. For instance, an industrial Modified Gross lease could require that the tenant pay for utilities and/or real estate taxes in addition to their Base Rent."

The triple net lease and modified gross lease are two common types of commercial leases. Because these two types of property leases have distinct approaches to allocating costs between a tenant and a landlord, a small-business owner should know the differences before signing a lease agreement. Lease Terms Under the terms of a triple modified lease, a tenant must pay rent and all operating costs related to the property. The lease gets its name from the three types of operating costs that it typically includes: real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance. A triple net lease is also known as a net-net-net lease. A modified gross lease is similar to a typical residential gross lease in which the landlord pays all operating costs. Under the terms of a gross modified lease, a commercial tenant pays some, but not all, of the operating costs. Utilities and interior cleaning services are common tenant-paid costs under a gross modified lease. The tenant either pays the designated operating costs directly or pays the landlord the actual or estimated costs."

Erica Sprey: Can you explain the difference between rentable square feet and usable square feet? Lucien W. Roberts: Rentable square feet equal the basis for your rent.

In such a lease, the tenant or lessee is responsible for all costs associated with repairs or replacement of the structural building elements of the property. Although rents are usually lower in triple net leases than other forms of lease agreements, this form of lease agreement is desirable for real estate investors since the expenses incurred by the investor are dramatically decreased due to the transfer of financial responsibilities on the property from the investor/lessor to the lessee. But they may also have certain tax disadvantages for the lessor. Among other effects, if the lease produces losses, these could be disallowed for their tax benefit due to the passive loss limitations of the Internal Revenue Code Section 469 or the at-risk rules of IRC §465, and significant income from them could cause a closely held C corporation to become a Personal Holding Company per IRC §542 (subject to a special tax), or an S corporation to lose this status per IRC §1362 (d). This form is frequently used for freestanding buildings, such as outparcel developments or single-tenant \"\"big box\"\" sites."

I spoke to a CSR at the 800 number and after a preliminary conversation was told I would be contacted by an investigator. After a week of going back and forth with Tamika the investigator I get a call from another agent, Christina, who is from an office in my state asking me questions I had already gone over twice, once with the person at the 800 number and again with Tamika. There was NO HANDOFF from Tamika to Christina the adjuster and I had NO IDEA at this point that Travelers was having an issue reaching the person who hit me to get a statement or photos of their car - I just got a random call from the NEXT person who assumed 1) I knew who she was, 2) I knew that my case had been transferred and 3) that I knew what she was talking about. So now I'm talking to a person who is 'local' to me which just meant their office happened to be in my state (I live in Southern California, she was in Central/North Cali) and Christina tells me the photos I provided to Tamika are dark and they can't see my car. I took the photos around 9am while at work on full sunlight on a beautiful California day... What exactly is dark Christina? I had gotten an estimate from the body shop my dealership uses exclusively and provided this to Travelers. I spoke to a few other people from this insurance company and they all assured me I would have no issues and they would provide OEM parts. Long story short - they didn't and when I tried to remedy the issue with Christina and her Supervisor Justin from the Rancho Cordova office they REFUSED, and I mean flat out REFUSED to make it right. They showed zero ethical remorse for the fact I had been given bad information from another Travelers agent and told me 'it’s their policy' and that they weren't going to try and do anything."

Greg Rasp of Bellbrook, Ohio, survived a close call with a tornado and hail in May 2011, then got too little attention from State Farm. It took the nation’s largest home insurer two weeks to send an adjuster, and they were slow to pay Rasp’s $75,000 claim, leaving him out of pocket for thousands of dollars. State Farm rated in the middle of the pack, according to the latest Consumer Reports National Research Center survey of more than 9,900 subscribers who filed homeowner’s insurance claims from 2010 through the first three months of 2013. Peter Andrew and Andrea Von Amelunxen, on the other hand, got “stellar” service from top-rated Amica. Their less-terrifying brush with 3 feet of snow and ice dams on the roof of their Connecticut home caused around $30,000 in damage from melt water that trickled down walls, across ceilings, and over hardwood floors. Amica handled the claim over the phone, had an estimate the next day, fixed what was needed without disagreements, and paid up within a week. “ We were blown away,” Andrew says."

This can be a great way to earn money. The vast majority of such rentals are uneventful, but now and again tragedy can strike. In one widely reported case, for example, an Airbnb renter in Texas was killed when a tree holding up a backyard hammock he was laying on collapsed onto his head. This case makes clear that, before you become a short-term rental host, you should think carefully about your liability for any injuries someone has while staying at your home and whether you have adequate insurance coverage for property damage or loss.

Purchasing a comprehensive home insurance policy can offer protection from damages by such severe weather and other unforeseen events. How Much Does Oklahoma Home Insurance Cost? According to the Insurance Information Institute, in 2010, the average annual premium for homeowners insurance in Oklahoma was $1,246. Due to tornadoes and wildfires, Oklahoma is one of the most expensive states to buy home insurance. Insurance companies consider several factors when determining the cost of a homeowner’s insurance. Homeowner’s insurance rates are based on factors including type of construction, the age of the house, its distance from fire protection, policy deductibles, discounts, claims history, and the policy holder’s credit score. A poor credit rating may raise the cost of the premium or may make it difficult to obtain homeowner’s insurance. Multiple claims may lead to a surcharge or additional premium, but an insurance company may not surcharge for weather-related claims. Discounts may be applied to a homeowner’s insurance premium if the homeowner installs impact-resistant roofing, deadbolt locks, approved electronic burglar alarms, smoke alarms, sprinkler systems, or other fire prevention systems."

The last one I had back in 2009, the PET itself was about 5K, the CT scans were less than 2K together. This was, to be clear, in Utah, which has some of the countries lowest medical prices, but still, that's quite a gap."

"text": "CT Scanning of the Abdomen CT imaging of the abdomen is an examination that uses x-rays to visualize several types of tissue with great clarity, including organs such as the liver, spleen, pancreas and kidneys. Using specialized equipment and expertise to create and interpret CT scans of the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the colon and rectum, an experienced radiologist can accurately diagnose many causes of abdominal pain, such as an abscess in the abdomen, inflamed colon or colon cancer, diverticulitis and appendicitis. Often, no additional diagnostic work-up is necessary and treatment planning can begin immediately. CT is often the preferred method for diagnosing many different cancers, including colon cancer, since the image allows a physician to confirm the presence of a tumor and to measure its size, precise location, and the extent of the tumor's involvement with other nearby tissue. CT examinations of the lower GI tract can be used to plan and properly administer radiation treatments for tumors, and to guide biopsies and other minimally invasive procedures. CT can also play a significant role in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of vascular disorders that can lead to stroke, gangrene or kidney failure. The technologist begins by positioning the patient on the CT table. The patient's body is generally supported by specially molded pillows to help the patient remain still and in the proper position during the scan. As the study proceeds, the table will move slowly into the CT scanner. The increments of movement may be so small that they are almost undetectable, or large enough that the patient feels the sensation of motion depending on the body part being examined."

The main asbestos-related conditions and diseases include pleural effusion, pleural plaques, diffuse pleural thickening, asbestosis, malignant mesothelioma, and bronchogenic carcinoma. In this article, we discuss asbestos and asbestos exposure, briefly describe the International Labour Organization (ILO) Classification of radiographs of pneumoconioses, and review the typical imaging characteristics of asbestos-related diseases, with emphasis on histopathologic correlation. Asbestos and Asbestos Exposure Section: Choose prevnext Asbestos is the name given to a group of naturally occurring silicate minerals whose fire-resistant properties have been known for thousands of years. Asbestos deposits are widely distributed throughout the world, with most being found in mountain-forming regions. Techniques for spinning and weaving the fibers were developed in the 19th century and led to a rapid increase in their use. Asbestos is not combustible, has great tensile strength, and has good frictional properties. It is a good thermal and electrical insulator, and is durable, strong, and flexible. These properties have led to its use in many commercial and domestic settings, including insulation materials, brake pads and linings, household products, floor tiles, electric wiring, paints, and cements. The fibers of asbestos can be broadly classified into two main groups, namely serpentine fibers, which are curly and flexible, and amphibole fibers, which are stiff and straight."

Computerized tomography (CT) scanning is useful to get a very detailed 3D image of certain parts of the body. The process begins by taking many different X-ray views at various different angles, which are then combined with the use of computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the bones and soft tissue inside of your body, including tissues inside of solid organ. Ordinary X-ray testing does not show clear images of soft tissue, so doctors often request CT scanning to get a good image of soft tissue including organs, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, and the brain. Sometimes a contrast dye is used as it shows up clearer on the screen. A quality CT scan of the chest displays a view of all the structures in the patient’s chest, including lungs. Reasons for a Chest CT scan: CT scans are used for a multitude of reasons. They may be done to check for certain cancers in various different ways including to detect abnormal tumors, growths or lumps. They also identify the location of tumors, the stage of cancer, and where to perform a biopsy."

"text": "Can Lung Cancer Be Found Early? Usually symptoms of lung cancer don’t appear until the disease is already at an advanced, non-curable stage. Even if lung cancer does cause symptoms, many people may mistake them for other problems, such as an infection or long-term effects from smoking. This may delay the diagnosis. Some lung cancers are found early by accident as a result of tests for other medical conditions. For example, lung cancer may be found by tests done for other reasons in people with heart disease, pneumonia, or other lung conditions. A small portion of these people do very well and may be cured of lung cancer. Screening is the use of tests or exams to find a disease in people who don’t have symptoms. Doctors have looked for many years for a good screening test for lung cancer, but only in recent years has a study shown that a test known as a low-dose CT (LDCT) scan can help lower the risk of dying from this disease. The National Lung Screening Trial The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) was a large clinical trial that looked at using LD CT scan of the chest to screen for lung cancer."

"text": "\"With Insurance: Copays and/or Coinsurance Without Insurance: $50-$1,000E-mail Post Tweet Comments (36)A CT scan of the heart can help predict a patient's risk of heart attack by checking for blockage in the coronary arteries. Typical costs: There are two types of heart CT most commonly used; the less invasive calcium scoring heart CT scan, which uses computerized tomography is used to detect calcification in the arteries, is less expensive; the more invasive CT angiography, which uses a 64-slice scanner to create a detailed three-dimensional image of the heart, is more expensive. For patients not covered by health insurance, the typical cost of a calcium scoring heart CT scan is $50 to $350, while the typical cost of CT angiography ranges from $500 to $1,000. For example, the Heart & Vascular Hospital at Sanford in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, offers calcium scoring scans for $50. The Cleveland Clinic [ 1] charges $340 for a calcium scoring scan. St. John Health [ 2] in Michigan, which performs CT angiography, charges $700. A heart CT scan generally would be covered by health insurance only if prescribed by a doctor for a patient at risk for coronary artery disease or who has symptoms such as chest pain; but some insurers do not cover the test under any circumstances. Examples include Medicare, which covers heart CT scans, and Aetna [ 3] , which considers them medically necessary for certain patients, such as those with chest pain or a positive stress test result, and experimental for others. For patients covered by health insurance, typical out-of-pocket costs typically range from nothing to a copay or coinsurance of 10 to 20 percent, up to $200 for a $1,000 procedure. An example is Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico HMO plans, which require prior authorization but charge no copay for a cardiac CT scan."

An understanding of sectional views has become increasingly important since the development of electronic imaging techniques that enable us to see inside the living body without resorting to surgery. Planes and Sections Any slice through a three-dimensional object can be described with reference to three sectional planes, indicated in Figure 1-9 and Table 1-3. The transverse plane lies at right angles to the long axis of the body, dividing it into superior and inferior sections. A cut in this plane is called a transverse section, or cross section. The frontal plane, or coronal plane, and the sagittal plane are parallel to the long axis of the body. The frontal plane extends from side to side, dividing the body into anterior and posterior sections. The sagittal plane extends from front to back, dividing the body into left and right sections. A cut that passes along the midline and divides the body into left and right halves is a midsagittal section, or median section; a cut parallel to the midsagittal line is a parasagittal section.

Chickenfarmer · 1 decade ago0 1 Comment True Italian Mozzarella is made from Buffalo milk, however most U. S. mozzarella is made using skim cow’s milk. In reality you can use any type of milk, although the taste and texture will vary. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Cotta... HISTORICAL ORIGINS The buffalo was introduced into Italy in the seventh century, but references to cheese products made from its milk only started to appear at the beginning of the twelfth century. Mozzarella became widespread throughout the south of Italy from the second half of the eighteenth century, before which it had only been produced in small quantities. The number of water buffalo in Italy has grown to over 170,000. They produce 150 million kilograms of buffalo milk, and over 35 million kilograms of buffalo mozzarella each year (Instituto de Pesquisa Economica Aplicada). http://www.mozzarelladibufala.org/allest...

"text": "PHOTO: i Stock/Thinkstockby Sue Weaver February 18, 2009Consider this. Yaks and water buffalo are domestic livestock, not exotics. You don’t need special permits, expensive specialty fencing or elaborate handling facilities to raise them. Both species thrive on marginal pasture and they require one-quarter to one-half the forage a beef cow eats. Plus, they’re protective mothers that calve with ease; you needn’t pull calves when raising these bovines. They’re parasite and disease resistant, they have wonderfully sound hooves and they’re remarkably long-lived. Best of all, with proper training they’re docile, friendly beasts—and you can ride them!Yaks Yaks (Bos grunniens) were domesticated somewhere on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau of Tibet around 3000-2500 B. C., then they spread north and south throughout western China to Mongolia and beyond. Why Raise Yaks? There are 14.2 million domestic yaks in the world; 13.3 million of them still in Chinese territories. Smaller populations are found in pockets around the world, including North America."

"text": "\"American Bison (Bos bison)For at least ten thousand years, from the last Ice Age until their slaughter in the nineteenth century, millions of bison (American Buffalo) once grazed the North American continent from the mountain grasslands of the West, throughout the prairies, and as far east as Georgia. In 1839 California bound traveler, John Bidwell, wrote \"\"I have seen the plains black with them for several days' journey as far as the eye could reach.\"\" Frank Roe in his book The North American Buffalo reported of an 1850 westbound train being held up for three days for one immense migrating herd to clear the tracks. The shaggy animals are members of the sheep, goat, and cattle family. They were an important food source to Native Americans, and their hides made warm robes. Often called buffalo (True buffaloes like the water buffalo have different characteristics and live in Asia and Africa), bison were slaughtered by hunters almost to extinction, depriving Indians of their major food source. The bison were harvested for meat to supply railroad crews. Many more were killed only for their hides, leaving the stripped carcasses laying on the ground. Later even the bones were collected for fertilizer. By 1889, only about 550 bison could be found alive in the United States."

Nutritional therapist Jo Lewin is on hand to help... Dairy-free diet Discovering that you are intolerant or allergic to dairy products can seem difficult to start with. Luckily, with a little knowledge it can be a lot easier to shop and eat dairy-free than you might first imagine. Let us start by separating dairy allergy and intolerance as they are two distinctly different disorders. What is the difference between an allergy and intolerance? The terms 'food allergy' and 'food intolerance' are often used interchangeably, although they actually refer to very different conditions. A true food 'allergy' is a reaction which involves the immune system and can cause a range of symptoms very quickly. In some cases, an allergic reaction to a food can be severe and even life-threatening. In contrast, an 'intolerance' is generally less severe, does not involve the immune system, and symptoms are often delayed."

In fact, in the western coastal state of Goa, a shortage of beef has raised alarms among the public, as well as restaurants and hotels that cater not only to Indian beef eaters but also, of course, tourists from other parts of the world. According to the Times of India newspaper, the situation in Goa has become so dire that a group of meat traders has urged the local government to release more than 100 cows and bulls from custody in order to help fill swelling demand for meat. The Goa government had earlier banned the slaughter of cattle and other animals at a prominent local abattoir over safety and hygiene concerns. A strike by local truckers has also hurt the beef market. Francisco Sardinha, the South Goa member of Parliament, even criticized the state government for not making beef available in the market for “Christians and Catholics,” for whom beef is a staple. \"\" I don't know what the thinking of this government is, whether they want to have beef or no beef or have mutton, which is so expensive,\"\" he said.

Cattle are mammals by definition. By definition Mammals are a clade of endothermic amniotes distinguished from the reptiles and the birds by the possession of hair, three middle ear bones, mammary glands in females, and a neocortex. which means Mammals must havewarm-blood/hot-bloodlimbs to move aroundhair at some point of their lifetimedeveloped brain compared to othersmammary glands to lactate (female only)By defn. of mammals,Cattles have mammary glands and satisfy other necessary conditions also. It doesn't matter when they lactate and how long they lactate. Also, as pointed by Sindhu Abhimana Gangula Dairy cows are milked 365 days a year, and in order to get Holstein dairy cows to lactate year round they are continually kept pregnant, meaning that two to three months after giving birth they are painfully impregnated again and this process continues for the rest of their short lives. At the tender age of 15 months female dairy cows are forced into pregnancy through artificial insemination. This process is extremely painful for the animals, as inexperienced farm workers often restrain the animals in a \"\"rape rack\"\" as it is known in the industry and use a metal rod to forcefully inseminate them."

The TSG certification does not specify the source of the milk, so any type of milk can be used. [ 1] In Italy, mozzarella made with the milk of the Italian water buffalo is an important variety. The Italian buffalo mozzarella sold as Mozzarella di Bufala Campana is protected under the EU's Protected Designation of Origin scheme and may only be produced in select locations in the regions of Campania, Lazio, Apulia and Molise.

Low-moisture mozzarella can be kept refrigerated for up to a month, [7] though some shredded low-moisture mozzarella is sold with a shelf life of up to six months.

If you have ever been nipped by a domestic dog, cat or your pet hamster, this is nothing compared to the bit of a wild animal. Animal bites are actually measured in “pounds per square inch” (psi) which is the force that their jaw closes down when biting. The weight of the animal delivering the bite is a lso taken into consideration. These two factors will give you the bite force of an animal.

"text": "\"Cranial Nerve Anatomy Introduction to Cranial Nerve Anatomy There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves which emerge from the brain itself. The first two olfactory and optic nerves are derived from the forebrain, whereas the remainder originate along the brain stem. These carry both efferent (motor) and afferent (sensory) fibres between the brain and the structures of the head and neck. In contrast to spinal nerves, cranial nerves exit through the cranium and are coated in a derivative of cranial meninges. The cranial nerves are: CN I - Olfactory Nerve CN II - Optic Nerve CN III - Oculomotor Nerve CN IV - Trochlear Nerve CN V - Trigeminal Nerve CN VI - Abducens Nerve CN VII - Facial Nerve CN VIII - Vestibulocochlear Nerve CN IX - Glossopharyngeal Nerve CN X - Vagus Nerve CN XI - Spinal Accessory Nerve CN XII - Hypoglossal Nerve Classification of the Cranial Nerves It is possible to describe a cranial nerve in terms of its function and embryological origin, initially cranial nerves can be subdivided into being either: Motor (efferent)Sensory (afferent)And from there further categorization can occur.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Motor (efferent) Cranial nerves- Somatic motor (general somatic efferent) (III, IV, VI, XII)These cranial nerves are so called because they innervate muscles derived from the occipital somites, such as the extra ocular and extrinsic tongue muscles.- Branchial motor (special visceral efferent) (V, VII, IX, X, XI)These are described as branchial because they specifically innervate muscles which are derived from the branchial arches during development (muscles of mastication, larynx, facial expression, pharynx and middle ear)- Parasympatheic (general visceral efferent) (III, VII, IX, X)These nuclei do not innervate striated muscle like the branchial and somatic, they instead provide preganglionic parasympathetic fibers to innervate glands, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle within the head, heart, lungs and digestive tract above the splenic flexure.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sensory (afferent) cranial nerves- Visceral sensoryspecial visceral afferent- ( VII, IX, X)general visceral afferent- (IX, X)The name is related to the fact that it detects sensation from visceral organs. They are divided into special visceral, referring to the rostral portion of the nucleus which contributes to the special sensation of taste.

One of the more common symptoms of vagus nerve damage is vocal changes, or changes in a person's voice. The voice may start to sound a bit hoarse if the larnyx, or voice box, has suffered damage. Vagus nerve damage can also cause the patient to have trouble moving the tongue as intended when trying to speak, leading to speech difficulty. A condition known as dysphagia is another common symptom of vagus nerve damage. Dysphagia is a medical condition in which the normal act of swallowing becomes difficult and sometimes even a bit painful. Since the vagus nerve is responsible for controlling many of the muscles in the mouth and tongue, damage to this area prevents some of the movements needed for swallowing."

"text": "\"Home > Medical care > Neurosciences > Tests & treatments > Neurological examination Neurological examination What is a neurological examination? A neurological examination, also called a neuro exam, is an evaluation of your child's nervous system that can be performed in the physician's office. It may be performed with instruments, such as lights and reflex hammers, and usually does not cause any pain to the child. The nervous system consists of the brain, the spinal cord, and the nerves from these areas. There are many aspects of this examination, including an assessment of motor and sensory skills, balance and coordination, mental status (the child's level of awareness and interaction with the environment), reflexes, and functioning of the nerves. The extent of the examination depends on many factors, including the initial problem that the child is experiencing, the age of the child, and the condition of the child. Why is a neurological examination performed? A complete and thorough evaluation of your child's nervous system is important if there is any reason to think there may be an underlying problem, or during a complete physical. Damage to the nervous system can cause delays in the child's normal development and functioning and early identification may help to identify the cause and decrease long-term complications. A complete neurological examination may be performed: During a routine physical."

"text": "The Neurological Exam Custom Search The human nervous system is an intricate and complex network of fibers that impenetrates the entire body and functions in complicated and often mysterious ways. Sophisticated imaging and laboratory tests do not always provide sufficient information about how the nerves are functioning -- or not functioning, as the case may be. The neurological examination is a series of simple questions and tests that provide crucial information about the nervous system. It is an inexpensive, noninvasive way to determine what might be wrong. The neurological examination is divided into several components, each focusing on a different part of the nervous system: * mental status * cranial nerves * motor system * sensory system * the deep tendon reflexes * coordination and the cerebellum * gait The exam requires skill, patience, and intelligence on the part of the physician, and cooperation from the patient. Incomplete or inaccurate exams can lead to incorrect diagnoses. Mental status The mental status examination is a series of detailed but simple questions designed to test cognitive ability, including the patient's: * state of consciousness (awareness and responsiveness to the environment and the senses); * appearance and general behavior; * mood; * content of thought; and * intellectual resources (orientation with reference to time, place, and person; comprehension; ability to pay attention; insight; memory; judgment; abstract reasoning power; speech and language function; and intellectual capacity). The patient may be asked to remember objects that had been listed earlier in the course of the exam; repeat sentences; solve simple mathematical problems; copy a three-dimensional drawing; and draw a clock and place the numbers and hands appropriately. When speech and language are tested, the examiner listens to the character of the speech, the fluency (smoothness of speech), and the patient's ability to understand and carry out simple or complex commands, and to read and write. In addition to specific questions that make up the actual mental status exam, the neurologist obtains important information by observing the patient's general behavior during the examination."

"text": "Cranial Nerve Function, Testing and Disease Symptoms Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet The Cranial Nerves The brain is the central processing point for all activity in the body. It is able to monitor and respond to changes in the body and control every organ either directly or indirectly. Nerves are like the electrical wiring that carry signals to and from the brain. Most of these nerves emerge pass through the spinal cord and are known as the spinal nerves. However, there are 12 pairs of nerves that emerge directly from the brain and are therefore known as cranial nerves. Some of these nerves are sensory or motor only while others are mixed containing a combination of sensory and motor fibers. Names of the Cranial Nerves Each pair of cranial nerves is numbered from one to twelve Roman numerals) and designated as CN.

"text": "\"Cranial Nerve Anatomy Introduction to Cranial Nerve Anatomy There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves which emerge from the brain itself. The first two olfactory and optic nerves are derived from the forebrain, whereas the remainder originate along the brain stem. These carry both efferent (motor) and afferent (sensory) fibres between the brain and the structures of the head and neck. In contrast to spinal nerves, cranial nerves exit through the cranium and are coated in a derivative of cranial meninges. The cranial nerves are: CN I - Olfactory Nerve CN II - Optic Nerve CN III - Oculomotor Nerve CN IV - Trochlear Nerve CN V - Trigeminal Nerve CN VI - Abducens Nerve CN VII - Facial Nerve CN VIII - Vestibulocochlear Nerve CN IX - Glossopharyngeal Nerve CN X - Vagus Nerve CN XI - Spinal Accessory Nerve CN XII - Hypoglossal Nerve Classification of the Cranial Nerves It is possible to describe a cranial nerve in terms of its function and embryological origin, initially cranial nerves can be subdivided into being either: Motor (efferent)Sensory (afferent)And from there further categorization can occur.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Motor (efferent) Cranial nerves- Somatic motor (general somatic efferent) (III, IV, VI, XII)These cranial nerves are so called because they innervate muscles derived from the occipital somites, such as the extra ocular and extrinsic tongue muscles.- Branchial motor (special visceral efferent) (V, VII, IX, X, XI)These are described as branchial because they specifically innervate muscles which are derived from the branchial arches during development (muscles of mastication, larynx, facial expression, pharynx and middle ear)- Parasympatheic (general visceral efferent) (III, VII, IX, X)These nuclei do not innervate striated muscle like the branchial and somatic, they instead provide preganglionic parasympathetic fibers to innervate glands, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle within the head, heart, lungs and digestive tract above the splenic flexure.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sensory (afferent) cranial nerves- Visceral sensoryspecial visceral afferent- ( VII, IX, X)general visceral afferent- (IX, X)The name is related to the fact that it detects sensation from visceral organs. They are divided into special visceral, referring to the rostral portion of the nucleus which contributes to the special sensation of taste. Whilst the general visceral portion is named as such due to this caudal portion receiving general sensory impulses such as cardiac, respiratory and GI inputs.- General somatic sensory (general somatic afferent) (V, VII, IX, X)These nuclei detect general sensation, such as touch, pain, vibration from the face, sinuses and meninges- Special somatic sensory (special somatic) (VIII)This carries information from the special sensation of hearing and balance. Overview of the Functions of the Cranial Nerves1) CN I (Olfactory nerve)Special somatic sensory - Olfaction (sense of smell)2) CN II (Optic nerve)Special somatic sensory - Vision3) CN III (Oculomotor nerve)Somatic motor - Control of levator palpebrae superioris and the medial rectus, inferior oblique, superior and inferior rectus muscles for eye movement. Parasympathetic - innervation of the ciliary ganglion controlling the sphincter pupillae and ciliary muscles.4) CN IV (Trochlear nerve)Somatic motor - Control of the superior oblique muscle leading to depression and intorsion (inward rotation of the upper pole) of the eye.5) CN V (Trigeminal nerve)General somatic sensory - Sensation of touch, pain, proprioception and temperature for the face, mouth, nasal passages, anterior 2/3s of the tongue and part of the meninges (supratentorial dura mater). Branchial motor - It also innervates the muscles of mastication (masseter, temporalis, lateral pterygoid, medial pterygoid) and tensor tympani.6) CN VI (Abducens nerve)Somatic motor - Controls the lateral rectus, leading to abduction of the eye.7) CN VII (Facial nerve)Branchial motor - Innervates the muscles of facial expression as well as the stapedius and digastric muscle."

Read the following article to understand the consequences and treatment options for cranial nerve damage. Sensory Function Nerves Cranial nerves (CN) I, II and VIII are primarily sensory related. CN I, the olfactory nerve, carries information regarding smell from the nose to the brain. Loss of the sense of smell may indicate damage to CN I, such as from a tumor, known as an olfactory groove meningioma, according to Mayfield. CN II, the optic nerve, carries visual information to the brain for processing. Loss of vision or perception may indicate damage to the optic nerve. The vestibulocochlear nerve, CN VIII, controls hearing and balance. Loss or a decrease of hearing may indicate nerve damage. Motor Function Nerves Cranial nerves associated primarily with motor function are IV, VI, XI and XII."

The Neurological Examination Cranial Nerves Sensory and Motor Examinations Reflex Testing Coordination Gait Testing Making Sense of Neurological Findings Introduction The goals of the neurological examination are several: For patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of a neurological problem, the examination should: Determine, on the basis of an organized and thorough examination, whether in fact neurological dysfunction exists. Identify which component (s) of the neurological system are affected (e.g. motor, sensory, cranial nerves, or possibly several systems simultaneously). If possible, determine the precise location of the problem (e.g. peripheral v central nervous system; region and side of the brain affected etc.). On the basis of these findings, generate a list of possible etiologies. Unlikely diagnoses can be excluded and appropriate testing (e.g. brain and spinal cord imaging) then applied in an orderly and logical fashion. Screening for the presence of discrete abnormalities in patients at risk for the development of neurological disorders. This is appropriate for individuals who have no particular subjective symptoms suggestive of a neurological problem, yet have systemic illnesses that might put them at risk for subtle dysfunction."

PARKINSON'S DISEASEParkinsonism is a clinical syndrome characterized by a combination of resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. Typically, the presence of two of these four features is necessary for the diagnosis of parkinsonism. The most common cause of parkinsonism is Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative condition with a slow and relatively selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, so dopamine is the main neurotransmitter affected in PD. Pathologically in PD, there is neuronal loss in the substantia nigra, especially the dopaminergic neurons in the pars compacta, causing loss of neuromelanin pigmentation. Clinical symptoms of PD occur when approximately 50-70% of these neurons are damaged. The clinical features of PD can be categorized as motor, autonomic and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Cardinal Motor manifestations Resting tremor Resting tremor is one of the most easily recognizable and the most common presentation and noticeable features of PDIn approximately 50% of patients, tremor is the initial symptom and approximately 15% of patients never have tremor throughout the disease course."

Learning Objectives Describe the function of the cranial nerves Key Takeaways Key Points The cranial nerves serve functions such as smell, sight, eye movement, and feeling in the face. The cranial nerves also control balance, hearing, and swallowing. The twelve cranial nerves, in order from I to XII are: olfactory nerve, optic nerve, oculomotor nerve, trochlear nerve, trigeminal nerve, abducens nerve, facial nerve, vestibulocochlear nerve, glossopharengeal nerve, vagus nerve, spinal accessory nerve, and hypoglossal nerve. The vagus nerve (X) has many branches and is responsible for tasks including heart rate, gastrointestinal peristalsis, sweating, and muscle movements in the mouth, including speech and keeping the larynx open for breathing. Key Termsinnervate: To supply an organ or other body part with nerves.peripheral nervous system: The nerves and ganglia outside of the brain and spinal cord.peristalsis: A radially symmetrical contraction and relaxation of muscles that propagates in a wave down a tube (such as the gastrointestinal tract) in an anterograde direction. Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem). In contrast, spinal nerves emerge from segments of the spinal cord. Cranial nerves relay information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck. Cranial Nerve Anatomy and Terminology Spinal nerves emerge sequentially from the spinal cord with the spinal nerve closest to the head (C1) emerging in the space above the first cervical vertebra."

Bells palsy affects 1/60 persons at some time of their life (Sullivan et al, 2016) The symptoms on the affected side typically include inability to close the eye, to smile, wrinkle the forehead and whistle. Speech may be mildly slurred. Tearing occurs because the eye does not close completely. Taste sensation may be diminished on the front half of the tongue. Sounds may appear louder on the affected side (hyperacusis) -- this may be caused by paralysis of the stapedius muscle but also occurs independantly. Papillitis may be seen of the fungiform papillae of the affected side. Bell's palsy usually develops over hours to days. The peak involvement usually happens within several days."

At their medial corners, your eyes have drain holes, each of which leads to a tear duct or Nasolacrimal duct. This drainage system conveniently disposes of tears, sparing unsightliness and facial dermatological problems that might result from tears running down our face all the time. The name, Nasolacrimal duct, is a clue for where those tears end up. They enter the Nasal cavity and, from there, drain into the throat, are swallowed, and, ultimately, recycled/repurposed. Very tidy. So tears drain down a pipe connecting the eyes to the nose."

Damage usually manifests as problems with speech and swallowing. These nerves arise from the medulla and, in the case of the accessory nerve (CN XI), the spinal cord. These nerves are commonly affected by conditions damaging the medulla, but bilateral damage to corticobulbar connections can create motor problems that affect tongue and pharynx movement and speech. IX, X. Glossopharyngeal and Vagus Nerves These two nerves are considered together because they exit from the brain stem side by side, and have similar and frequently side-by-side and overlapping functional and anatomical distributions in the periphery. Also, these nerves connect with many of the same brain stem nuclei (dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus, nucleus ambiguus, nucleus solitarius, spinal nucleus of the trigeminal) and are often damaged together. Pharynx and palate The pharynx is innervated by nerves IX and X, with motor and sensory contributions from both. In general, the vagus nerve is motor to the palate elevators and constrictors of the pharynx (as occurs in swallowing and gagging). The glossopharyngeal contains more sensory fibers, including from the posterior part of the tongue and pharynx down to the level of the larynx (where the vagus nerve begins to take over). The entire palate, including the soft palate, has a sensory distribution from the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve."

"text": "\"How Many Cranial Nerves Are There? Nerves arising directly from the brain are called cranial nerves, while those arising from the spinal cord are called peripheral nerves. These nerves pass from the brain through openings in the skull called foramina, to supply various parts of the head and neck, although some have extensions to the body. The cranial nerves each have a name, but they are also known by their corresponding Roman numerals, which name them from the topmost to the bottommost location of origin in the brain. These nerves have various sensory, motor, and other functions, which are important to your well-being and proper functioning. How Many Cranial Nerves Are There? In answeringthe question, it is helpful to begin with some knowledge about the three groups of nerves coming from the brain. There are 12 cranial nerves which are divided into nerves for the special senses, the motor nerves for the head muscles, and the nerves innervating the structures originating from thebranchial arches. The branchial arches are the primitive structures during development that give rise to your more specialized organs or structures. The nerves that serve your special senses are the olfactory (cranial nerve I), the ocular (cranial nerve II) and the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII)."

"text": "\"In order to reach the muscles, motor commands generated in the central nervous system must travel on upper motor neurons and synapse with lower motor neurons. Upper motor neuron s (UMN) are a type of first order neuron. They are unable to leave the central nervous system. The pyramidal tract is a very important upper motor neuron tract. The extrapyramidal tract also consists of upper motor neurons, and is multi synaptic. As upper motor neurons must remain inside the neuraxis, they synapse with neurons of another type called lower motor neurons which can carry messages to the muscles of the rest of the body. When children have neuromuscular problems due to UMN lesions that occur before, during, and shortly after birth they are said to have cerebral palsy. Lower motor neurons, or second order neurons are cranial and spinal nerves. The cell bodies of these neurons are located in the brain stem, but their axons can leave the central nervous system and synapse with the muscles of the body. All lower motor neurons are either spinal or cranial nerves."

By Ashly Westrick, Research Manager This past Tuesday, June 17, 2013, we posted a blog about a new study from New York University that will investigate the use of eye tracking technology to assess patients with hydrocephalus. Eye tracking technology utilizes the movements of the eyes to assess the function of the cranial nerves. In hydrocephalus, cranial nerves can be damaged due to intracranial pressure. The researchers hypothesize that analyzing the movement of the eyes could be used to detect hydrocephalus. This research utilizes the cranial nerves but what are the cranial nerves and which specifically help control the eyes? We hope this blog is both educational and supplemental to Dr. Uzma Samadani’s summary of their current research study. What are the Cranial Nerves? There are twelve cranial nerves located in the brain: I. Olfactory: functions in smell. II."

"text": "The Neurological Exam Custom Search The human nervous system is an intricate and complex network of fibers that impenetrates the entire body and functions in complicated and often mysterious ways. Sophisticated imaging and laboratory tests do not always provide sufficient information about how the nerves are functioning -- or not functioning, as the case may be. The neurological examination is a series of simple questions and tests that provide crucial information about the nervous system. It is an inexpensive, noninvasive way to determine what might be wrong. The neurological examination is divided into several components, each focusing on a different part of the nervous system: * mental status * cranial nerves * motor system * sensory system * the deep tendon reflexes * coordination and the cerebellum * gait The exam requires skill, patience, and intelligence on the part of the physician, and cooperation from the patient. Incomplete or inaccurate exams can lead to incorrect diagnoses. Mental status The mental status examination is a series of detailed but simple questions designed to test cognitive ability, including the patient's: * state of consciousness (awareness and responsiveness to the environment and the senses); * appearance and general behavior; * mood; * content of thought; and * intellectual resources (orientation with reference to time, place, and person; comprehension; ability to pay attention; insight; memory; judgment; abstract reasoning power; speech and language function; and intellectual capacity). The patient may be asked to remember objects that had been listed earlier in the course of the exam; repeat sentences; solve simple mathematical problems; copy a three-dimensional drawing; and draw a clock and place the numbers and hands appropriately. When speech and language are tested, the examiner listens to the character of the speech, the fluency (smoothness of speech), and the patient's ability to understand and carry out simple or complex commands, and to read and write. In addition to specific questions that make up the actual mental status exam, the neurologist obtains important information by observing the patient's general behavior during the examination."

Identify which component (s) of the neurological system are affected (e.g. motor, sensory, cranial nerves, or possibly several systems simultaneously). If possible, determine the precise location of the problem (e.g. peripheral v central nervous system; region and side of the brain affected etc.). On the basis of these findings, generate a list of possible etiologies. Unlikely diagnoses can be excluded and appropriate testing (e.g. brain and spinal cord imaging) then applied in an orderly and logical fashion. Screening for the presence of discrete abnormalities in patients at risk for the development of neurological disorders. This is appropriate for individuals who have no particular subjective symptoms suggestive of a neurological problem, yet have systemic illnesses that might put them at risk for subtle dysfunction."

"text": "\"Cranial Nerves Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem), in contrast to spinal nerves (which emerge from segments of the spinal cord). Cranial nerves relay information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck. The cranial nerves are considered components of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), although on a structural level the olfactory, optic and terminal nerves are more accurately considered part of the central nervous system (CNS). The 12 pairs of cranial nerves are special nerves associated with the brain. The fibers in cranial nerves are of diverse functional types. Some cranial nerves are composed of only one type, others of several. In their attachment to the brain, the first two cranial nerves are associated with the forebrain, nerves III and IV with the midbrain, and nerves V to XII with the hindbrain. Cranial nerves differ significantly from spinal nerves, especially in their development and their relation to the special senses and because some cranial nerves supply pharyngeal arch structures. They are attached to the brain at irregular rather than regular intervals; they are not formed of dorsal and ventral roots; some have more than one ganglion, whereas others have none; and the optic nerve is actually a tract of the CNS rather than a peripheral nerve.

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Uncategorized Which cranial nerves innervate salivary glands? Flag Which cranial nerves innervate salivary glands? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Parasympathetic innervation to the salivary glands is carried via cranial nerves. The parotid gland receives its parasympathetic input from the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) via the otic ganglion, while the submandibular and sublingual glands receive their parasympathetic input from the facial nerve (CN VII) via the submandibular ganglion. These nerves release acetylcholine and substance P, which activate the IP3 and DAG pathways respectively. Direct sympathetic innervation of the salivary glands takes place via preganglionic nerves in the thoracic segments T1-T3 which synapse in the superior cervical ganglion with postganglionic neurons that release norepinephrine, which is then received by β-adrenergic receptors on the acinar and ductal cells of the salivary glands, leading to an increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (c AMP) levels and the corresponding increase of saliva secretion. Note that in this regard both parasympathetic and sympathetic stimuli result in an increase in salivary gland secretions. [ 3] The sympathetic nervous system also affects salivary gland secretions indirectly by innervating the blood vessels that supply the glands.7 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Find out how these nerves help us move our tongue and enjoy everything from kissing to food to conversation. The Sensation and Movement of the Face When chewing on a juicy steak, there's a lot more to what goes on than meets the eye. Besides the obvious preparation of the food, there are four major nerves involved in helping you taste, chew, and swallow the delicious meat. In addition, the way you relay your satisfaction with the food to others through facial expressions and words has to do with these four nerves as well. Facial Nerve or Cranial Nerve VIILocation of the facial nerve Assuming you're not a vegetarian, the smell of a nice steak is going to bring a smile to your face. You use your smile to nonverbally communicate your pleasure. The most important nerve controlling muscles of facial expression, including those involved in a smile, is unsurprisingly called the facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII. In addition to helping you show your satisfaction at the thought of eating a nicely cooked dinner, the facial nerve has other critical functions involved in eating that delicious meal. As you put a piece of the steak into your mouth, you're going to experience a pleasant taste."

How do you know there are roses around you if your eyes are closed? You can smell them, right? The smell of a rose is easily identifiable to most people. In fact, you have the ability to detect millions of different odors, from the pleasant smell of a rose garden to the harsh smell of a burning building. Without a properly functioning olfactory nerve, you wouldn't be able to smell any of these things."

Encyclopedia Britannica/UIG/Getty Imagesby Regina Bailey Updated September 10, 2017The cranial nerves are nerves that arise from the brain and exit the skull through holes (cranial foramina) at its base rather than through the spinal cord. Peripheral nervous system connections with various organs and structures of the body are established through cranial nerves and spinal nerves. While some cranial nerves contain only sensory neurons, most cranial nerves and all spinal nerves contain both motor and sensory neurons. Function Cranial nerves are responsible for the control of a number of functions in the body. Some of these functions include directing sense and motor impulses, equilibrium control, eye movement and vision, hearing, respiration, swallowing, smelling, facial sensation, and tasting. The names and major functions of these nerves are listed below. Olfactory Nerve: Sense of smell Optic Nerve: Vision Oculomotor Nerve: Eyeball and eyelid movement Trochlear Nerve: Eye movement Trigeminal Nerve: This is the largest cranial nerve and is divided into three branches consisting of the ophthalmic, maxillary and mandibular nerves.

Some of these nerves bring information from the sense organs to the brain; some control muscles; and other are connected to glands or internal organs such as the heart, lungs, colon, etc. There are neurologists in the world specialised on Rett syndrome who believe that the Cranial nerves are badly functioning in this disorder and that they are the cause of the most important symptoms. Thinking about: strabism, breathing and swallowing difficulties, dribling, teeth grinding, reflux and constipation. I am sharing their opinion from my own experience. Therefore I want to present here an anatomic schema that shows the role of the Cranial nerves in the body. Is it accidental that this nerves are attached to most of organs that have trouble functioning in the Rett syndrome? I will leave it to the reader himself to draw a conclusion on this issue from their own experience with the girls they know. Cranial nerve I: Olfactory nerve This is a pure sensory nerve fiber. Cranial nerve II: Optic nerve It carries visual information to the brain."

The cranial nerves have several functions critical for day-to-day life, so they are an important focus for physicians, as well as patients affected by disorders of cranial nerve function. Unless you're a medical professional, it's not usually necessary to know all the details about each individual nerve. However, the information below may help you better understand the source of particular problems you've been having, and guide you towards more information. The Olfactory Nerve The olfactory nerve is responsible for transmitting everything we smell to the brain. Disruptions to this nerve can cause anosmia, an inability to detect scents. This also dramatically impacts our sense of taste. The Optic Nerve The optic nerve transmits electrical signals from the eye to the brain, which transforms these signals into an image of what we see in the world around us. Disorders of the optic nerve, such as optic neuritis, can lead to visual disturbances and even blindness. The Oculomotor Nerve The oculomotor nerve has two main functions."

Damage usually manifests as problems with speech and swallowing. These nerves arise from the medulla and, in the case of the accessory nerve (CN XI), the spinal cord. These nerves are commonly affected by conditions damaging the medulla, but bilateral damage to corticobulbar connections can create motor problems that affect tongue and pharynx movement and speech. IX, X. Glossopharyngeal and Vagus Nerves These two nerves are considered together because they exit from the brain stem side by side, and have similar and frequently side-by-side and overlapping functional and anatomical distributions in the periphery. Also, these nerves connect with many of the same brain stem nuclei (dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus, nucleus ambiguus, nucleus solitarius, spinal nucleus of the trigeminal) and are often damaged together. Pharynx and palate The pharynx is innervated by nerves IX and X, with motor and sensory contributions from both. In general, the vagus nerve is motor to the palate elevators and constrictors of the pharynx (as occurs in swallowing and gagging). The glossopharyngeal contains more sensory fibers, including from the posterior part of the tongue and pharynx down to the level of the larynx (where the vagus nerve begins to take over). The entire palate, including the soft palate, has a sensory distribution from the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve."

"text": "The 12 Cranial Nerves of the Human Bodywritten by: Leigh A. Zaykoski • edited by: Leigh A. Zaykoski • updated: 5/4/2010The 12 cranial nerves control some of the most important functions of the body. In addition, these nerves allow us to feel pain, indicating when there is a serious problem that requires medical intervention. Introduction to the Cranial Nerves The cranial nerves appear in pairs at the bottom surface of the brain. Their functions vary, but main functions include muscle control, helping the brain interpret the five senses, and controlling glands in the human body. Each cranial nerve pair controls specific functions of the human body. Nerve Names The 12 cranial nerves each have a name and corresponding Roman numeral. I is the olfactory nerve II is the optic nerve III is the oculomotor nerve IV is the trochlear nerve V is the trigeminal nerve VI is the abducens nerve VII is the facial nerve VIII is the vestibulocochlear nerve IX is the glossopharyngeal nerve X is the vagus nerve XI is the spinal accessory nerve XII is the hypoglossal nerve Functions Each of the 12 cranial nerves has a specific function that helps the brain control the actions of the body. The olfactory nerve is involved in the sense of smell. This nerve has access to the cerebral cortex, but does not pass through the thalamus like other cranial nerves . The optic nerve is involved in the sense of sight."

Unipolar (or pseudounipolar) neurons have a single axon, which bifurcates close to the cell body with one end typically extending centrally and the other extending towards the periphery ( Fig. 1 ). These cells tend to subserve sensory functions. Bipolar neurons have two processes extending from the cell body and are associated with the retina, vestibular cochlear system, and olfactory epithelium; these cells are commonly interneurons. The third type of neuron is the multipolar neuron, which has many processes, but only one axon, extending from the cell body. These cells are the most numerous type of neuron, and are characteristic of spinal motor neurons, pyramidal neurons, and Purkinje cells. Read full chapter Clinical Neuroanatomy Igor M.

It enters the orbit via the superior orbital fissure and controls most of the eye’s movements, including constriction of the pupil and maintaining an open eyelid by innervating the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. The oculomotor nerve is derived from the basal plate of the embryonic midbrain. Cranial nerves IV and VI also participate in control of eye movement. It is somatovisceral nerve. Oculomotor Nerve Nuclei: The oculomotor nucleus originates at the level of the superior colliculus. The muscles it controls are the striated muscle in levator palpebrae superioris and all extraocular muscles except for the superior oblique muscle and the lateral rectus muscle. The Edinger-Westphal nucleus supplies parasympathetic fibres to the eye via the ciliary ganglion, and thus controls the sphincter pupillae muscle (effecting pupil constriction) and the ciliary muscle (affecting accommodation). Sympathetic postganglionic fibres also join the nerve from the plexus on the internal carotid artery in the wall of the cavernous sinus and are distributed through the nerve, e.g., to the smooth muscle of superior tarsal (Mueller’s) muscle. Oculomotor Nerve Superficial Origin: On emerging from the brain, the nerve is invested with a sheath of pia mater, and enclosed in a prolongation from the arachnoid."

"text": "\"Robert H. Spector, MD, Atlanta Published 18 November 2008Getting at the Root of Vertical Diplopia An ongoing look at the diagnostic challenges presented by patients with vertical diplopia. Over a series of articles, I'm reviewing the causes, diagnosis and treatment options for patients with vertical diplopia. The initial discussion focused on contribution of the orbital muscles and clinical tests to assess this component of the diagnosis. ( See the November 2007 issue, or visit the archives at revophth.com) This second installment will explore the anatomical pathways and activity and lesions that can cause vertical diplopia. Because of the complexity of this review, it will appear in two parts, with the second in next month's issue. Identifying the Lesion After correctly identifying the underacting eye muscle (s) in a person with vertical diplopia, you must decide if the culpable lesion is supranuclear, infranuclear or restrictive in origin. The more familiar infranuclear pathway simply consists of the lower motor neuron unit of cranial nerves 3, 4 and 6. It begins in the nucleus of each cranial nerve where a pool of motor neurons sprout axons that coalesce to form a cranial nerve that courses along the skull base to the orbit where they innervate their respective eye muscles. The supranuclear pathway, far less familiar to the practicing ophthalmologist, consists of the complex of neurons, axons and axonal interconnections that directly influence the lower motor neuron pools of the 3rd, 4th and 6th cranial nerves. Figure 1 depicts some of these neural connections in the cerebral hemispheres, deep cerebral structures, vestibular apparatus, cerebellum and the brainstem that eventually converge on the horizontal and vertical \"\"gaze centers.\"\""

Neuropathy is a disorder that causes nerve damage and affects your ability to feel and move. Exactly how your body and your movement are affected depends on where in the body the damaged nerves are located. When nerves in the brain or brainstem are affected, it is called cranial neuropathy. The cranial nerves are those that arise directly from your brain or brainstem and often affect areas like the face and eyes. Some of the different types of cranial neuropathies include: Bell's palsy. This condition occurs when the facial nerve (seventh cranial nerve) is affected. Microvascular cranial nerve palsy. This condition affects the nerves in the eye."

"text": "Brief Overview of Cranial Nerves The peripheral nervous system has 12 pairs of cranial nerves that control much of the motor and sensory functions of the head and neck. Learning Objectives Describe the function of the cranial nerves Key Takeaways Key Points The cranial nerves serve functions such as smell, sight, eye movement, and feeling in the face. The cranial nerves also control balance, hearing, and swallowing. The twelve cranial nerves, in order from I to XII are: olfactory nerve, optic nerve, oculomotor nerve, trochlear nerve, trigeminal nerve, abducens nerve, facial nerve, vestibulocochlear nerve, glossopharengeal nerve, vagus nerve, spinal accessory nerve, and hypoglossal nerve. The vagus nerve (X) has many branches and is responsible for tasks including heart rate, gastrointestinal peristalsis, sweating, and muscle movements in the mouth, including speech and keeping the larynx open for breathing. Key Termsinnervate: To supply an organ or other body part with nerves.peripheral nervous system: The nerves and ganglia outside of the brain and spinal cord.peristalsis: A radially symmetrical contraction and relaxation of muscles that propagates in a wave down a tube (such as the gastrointestinal tract) in an anterograde direction. Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem). In contrast, spinal nerves emerge from segments of the spinal cord. Cranial nerves relay information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck. Cranial Nerve Anatomy and Terminology Spinal nerves emerge sequentially from the spinal cord with the spinal nerve closest to the head (C1) emerging in the space above the first cervical vertebra."

The Neurological Examination Cranial Nerves Sensory and Motor Examinations Reflex Testing Coordination Gait Testing Making Sense of Neurological Findings Introduction The goals of the neurological examination are several: For patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of a neurological problem, the examination should: Determine, on the basis of an organized and thorough examination, whether in fact neurological dysfunction exists. Identify which component (s) of the neurological system are affected (e.g. motor, sensory, cranial nerves, or possibly several systems simultaneously). If possible, determine the precise location of the problem (e.g. peripheral v central nervous system; region and side of the brain affected etc.). On the basis of these findings, generate a list of possible etiologies. Unlikely diagnoses can be excluded and appropriate testing (e.g. brain and spinal cord imaging) then applied in an orderly and logical fashion. Screening for the presence of discrete abnormalities in patients at risk for the development of neurological disorders. This is appropriate for individuals who have no particular subjective symptoms suggestive of a neurological problem, yet have systemic illnesses that might put them at risk for subtle dysfunction."

"text": "Health Optical Response of the pupil ? What is the response of the pupil in the right eye if the light is shone on the opposite eye? If it affects the right eye too what is the reason. What is the mechanism behind it? Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In medicine, there are two pupillary reflexes- The pupillary light reflex is the reduction of pupil size in response to light. The pupillary accommodation reflex is the reduction of pupil size in response to an object coming close to the eye. Both these reflexes affect both eyes, even if only one eye is stimulated. The pattern of papillary response to light can help determine which of the cranial nerves is damaged. There are two types of response assessed for each eye: Direct pupillary reflex: whether each pupil constricts with light shone into that eye Consensual pupillary reflex: whether each pupil constricts with light shone into the other eye Source (s): GO to Wiikipedia!Anonymous · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating Light goes into the eye and stimulates the retina. The retinal impulse travels by the optic nerve, to the brain."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Coma (disambiguation) and Comas (disambiguation). Not to be confused with Comma. Coma Specialty Neurology, psychiatry Coma is a state of unconsciousness in which a person cannot be awakened; fails to respond normally to painful stimuli, light, or sound; lacks a normal wake-sleep cycle; and does not initiate voluntary actions. [ 1] A person in a state of coma is described as being comatose. A distinction is made in the medical community between a real coma and a medically induced coma, the former is a result of circumstances beyond the control of the medical community, while the latter is a means by which medical professionals may allow a patient's injuries to heal in a controlled environment. A comatose person exhibits a complete absence of wakefulness and is unable to consciously feel, speak, hear, or move. [ 2] For a patient to maintain consciousness, two important neurological components must function. The first is the cerebral cortex —the gray matter that forms the outer layer of the brain. The other is a structure located in the brainstem, called reticular activating system (RAS). [ 3] [4]Injury to either or both of these components is sufficient to cause a patient to experience a coma."

"text": "\"Third cranial nerve (oculomotor nerve) palsy in adults Author: Andrew G Lee, MD Section Editor: Paul W Brazis, MD Deputy Editor: Janet L Wilterdink, MDINTRODUCTIONDysfunction of the third cranial nerve (oculomotor nerve) can result from lesions anywhere along its path between the oculomotor nucleus in the midbrain and the extraocular muscles within the orbit. The diagnosis and management of third nerve palsy varies according to the age of the patient, characteristics of the third nerve palsy, and the presence of associated signs and symptoms. The manifestations and diagnosis of third nerve palsy in adults will be reviewed here. Third nerve palsy in children and other causes of diplopia, ptosis, and anisocoria are discussed separately. ( See \"\"Third cranial nerve (oculomotor nerve) palsy in children\"\" and \"\"Overview of diplopia\"\" and \"\"Overview of ptosis\"\" and \"\"Approach to the patient with anisocoria\"\" . ) ANATOMYThe third cranial nerve supplies the levator muscle of the eyelid and four extraocular muscles: the medial rectus, superior rectus, inferior rectus, and inferior oblique. These muscles adduct, depress, and elevate the eye. The superior oblique muscle is innervated by cranial nerve IV and the lateral rectus muscle by cranial nerve VI. In addition, the third cranial nerve constricts the pupil through its parasympathetic fibers that supply the smooth muscle of the ciliary body and the sphincter of the iris. The third nerve begins as a nucleus in the midbrain that consists of several subnuclei that innervate the individual extraocular muscles, the eyelids, and the pupils."

By Ashly Westrick, Research Manager This past Tuesday, June 17, 2013, we posted a blog about a new study from New York University that will investigate the use of eye tracking technology to assess patients with hydrocephalus. Eye tracking technology utilizes the movements of the eyes to assess the function of the cranial nerves. In hydrocephalus, cranial nerves can be damaged due to intracranial pressure. The researchers hypothesize that analyzing the movement of the eyes could be used to detect hydrocephalus. This research utilizes the cranial nerves but what are the cranial nerves and which specifically help control the eyes? We hope this blog is both educational and supplemental to Dr. Uzma Samadani’s summary of their current research study. What are the Cranial Nerves? There are twelve cranial nerves located in the brain: I. Olfactory: functions in smell. II."

Do you wonder what your eye doctor is checking for as she shines a bright light into your eyes? Be assured that this light is not meant to irritate you—it has a purpose and can \"\"shed light\"\" on how well your nervous system is working. More specifically, this eye exam, called pupillary response testing, is used to examine the functioning of cranial nerve II (called the optic nerve) and cranial nerve III (called the oculomotor nerve). The optic nerve transmits visual signals from the retina to the brain. Damage to the optic nerve (like from optic neuritis) can cause vision problems. The oculomotor nerve controls four of the six eye muscles and also controls constriction of the pupil and the ability of the eye to focus. Damage to the oculomotor nerve (like from a head injury, infection, high blood pressure, or brain tumor) can cause double vision or an enlarged or blown pupil. What Is PERRLA?"

"text": "January 19, 2017 | by Aa to Zz Coloring is a favorite childhood activity from a young age. Even adults are getting in on the action with the latest craze of adult coloring books. But have you ever wondered how crayons are made as you color with your child or you do a bit of your own coloring? Perhaps you’ve even made your own crayons by melting old ones and putting them in new molds. The actual crayon manufacturing process follows that same concept of melting and molding wax, but on a much larger scale. Kids and adults alike find the process fascinating. You may even decide to whip up your own batch of crayons after learning how the favorite childhood art supply is made. History of Crayon Production Before we look at the process for making crayons today, let’s take a look back at how crayons originated. Crayons were around for some time before the very popular Crayola brand entered the kids’ art scene. Those earlier crayons were targeted mainly toward artists, and they often were made with toxic materials to achieve particular colors."

I saw this when I collected beer cans years ago. Everyone asked about \"\"Billy Beer\"\". You know, the beer in a can that the President's brother produced. The reality is that it was such a novelty, nobody ever threw any of them away and so the market is flooded with them. I got tired of hearing about them or seeing them over the years. When it comes to Crayola colors, there's a bit of the same pattern going on. Crayola has played into the public's thirst for colors and publicly called out a few colors where they have changed names for one reason or another. They have also officially retired many colors. Both of these moves have prompted the general non-collecting public to think that any color renamed or any color retired must be \"\"rare\"\"."

"text": "\"Since 1903, Crayola Crayons has made over 130 different colors. Some of those will forever stand the test of time (mostly because they’re primary colors and so are essential). Some have led to questionable choices in kindergarten artwork (mostly because few five-year-olds know what to do with \"\"Ceruleanv). And some like the following have been complete bombs, either removed from the Crayola box permanently or doomed to remain untouched until every other possible color option has been used, including one’s own blood…Red-Orange/Orange-Red (source)Remember that old \"\"Star Trek\"\" episode \"\"Let That Be Your Last Battlefield,\"\" in which the black-and-white face alien and the white-and-black face alien can only see their differences and so are forever doomed to try and destroy each other? That’s what one can only imagined happed between \"\"Red-Orange\"\" and \"\"Orange-Red\"\" every single night in the Crayola 64 box, all the while as the real \"\"Red\"\" and \"\"Orange\"\" crayons quietly slept, exhausted from being worn down to nubs because unlike the twins they actually got used. Flesh (source)When you hear the word \"\"flesh\"\" what color do you think? Why, several different kinds of colors, of course! But not Crayola, who thought \"\"flesh\"\" could only mean a particular niche of the population that couldn’t get a tan even if it stood next to a supernova. But thanks to the Civil Rights movement in the early 60’s, the crayon \"\"Flesh\"\" was renamed \"\"Peach\"\" and all was right in terms of social harmony. That is, except for another big no-no on the part of the crayon manufacturer…Indian Red (source)Unlike \"\"Flesh,\"\" which although a massive mistake was changed in 1962, \"\"Indian Red\"\" stuck around until 1999, long after several stereotypical Native American sports mascots had been replaced and Crayola might have countered it with \"\"Cowboy Sh*t Brown Under Boot.\"\""

With their broad appeal, there’s a wide range of quality crayons to choose from. Most people will pick up any brand of crayon or look for the cheapest box on the shelf. Lower end crayons are too waxy and won't leave a lasting mark on the page, and can also be too brittle or soft, frustrating younger artists because of frequent breakage. Each of these best crayon brands offers something a little different in style, material, or price, but they were all selected based on their status as top-quality crayons. These picks all have at least 24 colors to choose from, come in vibrant pigments suitable for professional artists, they’re of higher artistic quality than most brands and are also non-toxic, making them safe for children to use. Read More Faber-Castell Beeswax Crayons These lively crayons from Faber-Castell use a beeswax base that is harder and more translucent than traditional paraffin crayons. The brand has a slightly smaller range of colors than most brands but they come at a reasonable price making them a good option for classroom use. Read Full Review See it at: Stockmar Beeswax Stick Crayons Made with a special beeswax blend, Stockmar Crayons smell better and mark color well compared with traditional crayons. While they have a good selection with 32 colors, Stockmar crayons are a bit of a specialty brand because of their high price tag."

"text": "Watercolor Paint248 results Watercolor paints enable artists to create beautiful vibrant paintings with sharp details or soft paintings with subtle color shifts. Popular among both professionals and hobbyists, watercolor paints are difficult to master but can result in works that no other medium can replicate. Choose from a wide range of starter watercolors and professional-quality watercolors, as well as gouaches, washable temperas and watercolor mediums. Be sure to review all of our painting supplies, including a broad assortment of acrylic and tempera paints, to find all of the paints and support tools you need. Transparent Watercolor Paints and Sets Whether you're getting started in watercolor or have been a professional for years, we carry a wide range of watercolor tubes, watercolor pans, concentrated liquid watercolor and watercolor paint sets for all your watercolor needs. Look for the pigment load of the paint to help you determine its potential vibrancy. Consider if you'd prefer watercolor that is in a pan or a creamy watercolor that comes out a tube. Keep in mind that consistency, quality and color will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so look for the watercolors that will best contribute to the standards you expect for your work. Gouache Often used by illustrators, gouache painting is similar to watercolor painting in many ways, but it goes on opaque rather than transparent. This makes it an excellent choice for covering up unwanted drawing lines and painting sharp details."

With elements of hard rock, psychedelia, and pop, it is one of Cream's best known and most popular songs. Cream bassist and vocalist Jack Bruce based it on a distinctive bass riff, or repeated musical phrase, he developed after attending a Jimi Hendrix concert. Guitarist Eric Clapton and lyricist Pete Brown later contributed to the song. Recording engineer Tom Dowd suggested the rhythm arrangement in which drummer Ginger Baker plays a distinctive tom-tom drum rhythm, although Baker has claimed it was his idea. The song was included on Cream's second album Disraeli Gears in November 1967, which was a best seller. Atco Records, the group's American label, was initially unsure of the song's potential. After recommendations by other label-affiliated artists, it released an edited single version in December 1967. [ a] The song became Cream's first and highest charting American single and one of the most popular singles of 1968."

Since it was written after Jack Bruce went to a Jimi Hendrix concert and worked on some chords he heard I don't know where to fully give the credit. However, Eric Clapton is no slouch of a musician and wrote many great songs after Hendrix was in the great beyond, so I will give Clapton the benefit of the doubt. This is a must have song and it is a truly enjoyable slice of the best that Rock N' Roll has ever offered. Yes, this is the cream of the crop."

But, he hasn’t always spoken of his best-known songs or biggest hits and some of those recounted below are a bit eclectic. Here are the backstories behind some of Eric Clapton's songs, in many cases in Eric’s own words: BAD LOVE Eric: “Warner Brothers wanted another ‘Layla’. I thought, 'well, if you sit down and write a song in a formatted way, it's not so hard.' You think ‘What was “Layla” comprised of? A fiery intro modulated into the first verse and chorus with a riff around it. I had this stuff in my head, so I just juggled it around, and Mick Jones (of the group Foreigner) came in to help tidy up. He was the one who said ‘You should put a \"\"Badge\"\" middle in there'. So, we did that. Although it sounds like a cold way of doing it, it actually took on it's own life. \"\""

"text": "Ten Great Blues-Rock Songs by Guitar Rockers By GP Editors December 16, 2015Whether you think of blues-rock as “blues played with a rock edge” or “rock played with a blues edge,” one thing can’t be denied: This style is one of electric guitar’s most influential and enduring movements. For many decades, the high-energy efforts of blues rockers from Texas to Britain have helped shape the way that the guitar played. Many of these artists perform in a trio setting with the guitarist also functioning as vocalist/frontman, helping to pioneer a successful model for rock-band instrumentation. Here, we present 10 of the best examples of the blues-rock tradition as demonstrated by rock guitar–based acts. “ Sunshine of Your Love”Cream, 1967In June 1966, Eric Clapton opted out of John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers to form what is widely regarded as the first “power trio.” Cream, with bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker, released their debut, Fresh Cream, that December. But it was Disraeli Gears, released in November 1967, that won the band critical and popular acclaim. Today, several of the album’s tracks—particularly “Sunshine of Your Love”—are considered classic-rock standards. Written by Bruce as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, the tune opens with an instantly recognizable single-note riff played on Clapton’s Gibson SG.

The song inspired people to \"\"get off their can and get out there and do it\"\".

"text": "\"How the tides affect breaking waves In a previous post, I explained how breaking waves work and how wind interacts with waves at the beach. But what happens to waves as the tide rises and falls? A quick recap on tides: the reason the water level changes systematically around the world is primarily because of the gravitational pull of the Moon on one side of the Earth, and the centrifugal force of the Earth-Moon rotation on the other side of the Earth. A secondary bulge about half as big occurs for the same reasons due to the Sun. These bulges of water migrate across the planet as the Earth turns, causing rising and falling tides. Spring tides occur when the influence on the ocean from the Moon and Sun are in sync, causing extra-high high tides and low low tides - neap tides, when the difference between high and low tide is more mellow, occur when the Moon and Sun bulges are out of sync. Tides cause the water level to change baseline elevation at a given beach (and waves are superimposed on this); most beaches experience 2 high and 2 low tides a day. The amplitude (difference in height between high and low tide) varies through the month with the phases of the Moon, and also varies dramatically around the world. The Bay of Fundy in Canada has the largest tides, while the Mediterranean Sea has very small tides. So how do tides affect the way that waves break?"

"text": "\"Reader Approved How to Survive a Rip Tide The dreaded \"\"rip tide\"\" does not have anything to do with tides, so professionals prefer the term \"\"rip current.\"\" A rip current is a long, narrow band of water that can pull swimmer away from shore and out to sea in just a few seconds. Rip currents are dangerous, and it's best to learn how to identify and stay out of them. If, however, you get caught in a rip current, the right response gives you a big advantage. Steps1 Identify a rip tide. What most people call a rip tide is technically a \"\"rip current\"\": a narrow channel of water rushing from the beach to the sea (or sometimes along the beach). Stay aware of your surroundings and learn the warning signs: Avoid channels of water that look different from the surroundings. A rip current can be choppier and foamier, or it can be a quiet gap in the line of breaking waves. It may be a slightly different color than the surrounding water. Use special caution close to low tide and in high surf conditions, but be aware rip currents can happen at any time. ["

"text": "\"Prize Winning Web Site by P ress C lub LIFollow Us On TV Show On On All Systems Understanding Tides�By Rich Johnson Two of the questions I’m asked most often are \"\"what and how do tides work\"\" and \"\"what is the difference between flood and ebb, incoming or outgoing\"\" etc. Both very good questions which could take me a while to answer, but I will try to simplify the basic explanations in this week’s column. The first thing I should give readers is terminology to phrases and what they mean. Also understand tides change twice a day, everyday. We’re all familiar with the terms High or Low tides. They are just what they say they are, high tide is the height in feet of the highest point of the tide and low tide is the lowest height of the tide and these can vary from place to place. Tides come in through the inlets and go out the same way, thus terms like incoming and outgoing are self-explanatory. Since tides have to come in to rise to a high tide or go out to create low tides you have terms like flood or ebb tides. Flood or \"\"flooding\"\" water is the incoming of seawater to create a high tide and Ebb or ebbing tide is the outgoing of seawater to create a low tide. We must also remember there is a window of time between high and low tides where the tide as we call it \"\"rests.\"\""

Our discussion starts at the strand line since the beach is probably the coastal feature most familiar to readers. The coastal dunes behind beaches and the shoreface regime seaward of the beach are tied together as a beach system with each of these features having unique differences. However, the exchange of sand between them is part of a single system. Definitions Beaches are accumulations of unconsolidated sand or gravel that extend from mean low tide to the uppermost extent of wave impact. The best development of beaches is on low lying alluvial coasts, but they are not restricted to these areas. In some locations, they are thin slivers of sand fronting coastal cliffs. Elsewhere, they are broad features backed by wide dune fields and coastal marshes. If North America can be considered typical, more than a third of the world's coastlines are beach environments.

Image courtesy NASA/German Aerospace Center/Rapid Eye Scientists are constantly trying to learn new ways to predict the behavior of tsunamis. Given current technology however, most tsunami data come to us after the damage has already occurred. In a post-tsunami survey, geologists measure a number of factors. Scientists are particularly interested in the inundation and run-up features after the waves strike land. Inundation is the maximum horizontal distance penetrated inland. Run-up refers to the maximum vertical distance above sea level that the waves reached. Inundation and run-up are often determined by measuring the distance of killed vegetation, scattered debris along the land and eyewitness accounts of the incident. Scientists have made great strides in monitoring and predicting the ongoing threat of tsunamis."

Follow 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Depends on the tide. If you went before the high tide, then incoming is good. If you went before the low tide, then outgoing is good. In general, peak high tide and peak low tide will produce the most. The procedure of tidal movements for a high tide goes like this: Incoming tide, slack tide, then outgoing tide. Slack tide in this case is your high tide. If it is a low tide, the procedure will be in reverse. You'll get outgoing tide, slack tide (low tide), then incoming tide. You will be able to catch fish during all three phases of tidal movements with slack tide being the slowest."

Follow 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Really a part of fishing would be from low water, at that point you can see any rocks or weed that could cost you tackle by becoming entangled, especially around Cornwall. Mostly the fishing comes on about two hours before the high and an hour over the top. Obviously the in coming tide stirs up the bottom encouraging the fish to feed. The wind also has a great deal of bearing on your fishing. I remember a little poem that went, when the winds in the easts the fish feed the least, when the winds in the south it blows the bait into their mouths.

In fact, many of the most successful companies in the world are really holding companies. This basic introduction was designed to help you understand what holding companies are, why they play such a vital role in the modern economy, and some things you might consider before investing in, or forming, one. Please note that this article is designed for beginners. If you are looking for a more advanced explanation that is suited for wealthy individuals and professional investors, I wrote about this same topic on my personal blog awhile ago in a post called How a Holding Company Works. It gets into more of the asset protection elements of a holding company, such as the ability to isolate valuable intellectual property into so-called \"\"silos\"\", among other topics. Neither this article nor that post are investment recommendations but, rather, an academic overview meant to help you understand the structure, purpose, and benefits of holding companies in certain specific contexts. First, Let's Start With the Basics: What Is a Holding Company? Broadly defined, a holding company is a company that doesn’t have any operations, activities, or other active business itself. Instead, the holding company owns assets."

Nelson Coastal Zones This document last updated on 04-Nov-2013Coastal Zones A coastal zone is the interface between the land and water. These zones are important because a majority of the world's population inhabit such zones. Coastal zones are continually changing because of the dynamic interaction between the oceans and the land. Waves and winds along the coast are both eroding rock and depositing sediment on a continuous basis, and rates of erosion and deposition vary considerably from day to day along such zones. The energy reaching the coast can become high during storms, and such high energies make coastal zones areas of high vulnerability to natural hazards. Thus, an understanding of the interactions of the oceans and the land is essential in understanding the hazards associated with coastal zones.

Because the Moon is closer to the Earth than the Sun, it has a larger affect and causes the Earth to bulge toward the moon."

"text": "Barrier Islands Related Links Virtual Field Trips Small sand volume barrier islands Large sand volume barrier islands Compiled by John Mc Daris, SERCWhat are barrier islands? Barrier islands are long, relatively narrow islands that run along a coast parallel to the mainland. They are built up by the action of waves and currents and help protect the coastline from erosion by surf and tidal surges. Barrier islands occur all over the world but are especially prevalent along the Atlantic and Gulf coast of North America. This figure from the USGS shows the major parts of the typical barrier island system. Open Water - Barrier Islands are found in areas where the sea floor slopes away gently to the continental shelf. The shallow angle of incoming waves makes it very easy to transport sediments in and out with waves, tides, and storms. Beach - This part slopes up from sea level (the foreshore) but often reaches a flat aspect at some distance from the sea (the backshore). The energy of incoming waves is spent rolling up the gentle slope of the foreshore and the backshore is typically only inundated during storms when storm surge pushes water up further. Dune - The action of wind and wave tend to push sand grains landward and these sediments accumulate in the backshore environment forming sand dunes."

In turn, by expanding their businesses and employee pools, they will expand and fortify the nation's economic strength. In other words, if you feed the wealthy increasing amounts, they brush more crumbs off the table, feeding those below them. During the 1980 Presidential campaign, supply side economics was reintroduced to the American political debate and, to the great surprise (not to mention horror) of many responsible economists, was actually implemented by the Reagan Administration. This particular incarnation was called \"\"trickle-down\"\" economics\"\" (sometimes called \"\"tinkle-down economics\"\" by detractors), or \"\"Reaganomics\"\" since Ronald Reagan was the first president in US history to fully embrace the idea. Trickle-down economics is a \"\"success\"\" in that it assists the wealthy but doesn't help the middle-class or the poor. The natural order of business is Bottom-Up economics: Giving money to big business, as opposed to the consumer, to invest in the business.

"text": "\"Turning Tides: What Indonesia's Reconsideration of Bilateral Investment Treaties Means for Foreign Investors October 2014 Foreign investors in Indonesia have long benefited from international investment treaties, but the recent announcement to terminate the country's bilateral treaty with the Netherlands signals a change in approach by the Indonesian government. This Commentary looks at the changes ahead and explains how investors can ensure their Indonesian investments remain protected. Indonesia's international investment treaties have provided a great deal of comfort for foreign investors in managing sovereign risks associated with their investments, such as unfair and inequitable conduct by the government, or denials of justice by its judicial entities. Indonesia signed its first bilateral investment treaty with Denmark in 1968 and has since signed additional agreements with 69 countries, including the Netherlands, Australia, China, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. But despite Indonesia's history of embracing bilateral investment treaties, the tides have turned. In March 2014, the Indonesian government announced it will not renew its treaty with the Netherlands. Given the breadth of its terms, the Indonesia–Netherlands investment treaty is one of the most commonly relied upon for foreign investments in Indonesia, but it will expire on July 1, 2015. Signaling additional actions to come, the Indonesian government has indicated its intention to terminate all of its remaining bilateral investment treaties. The announcement is not surprising given the changing landscape for foreign investment in Indonesia. It comes at a time when Indonesia is making numerous regulatory changes in its mining, natural resources, and finance sectors, which may adversely affect foreign investors (e.g., its recent ban on raw-ore exports)."

The most striking property of the atom was its permanence . It was difficult to imagine any small solid entity that could not be broken, given the right force, temperature or chemical reaction. In contemplating what kinds of physical systems exhibited permanence, Thomson was inspired by a paper Helmholtz had written in 1858 on vortices. This work had been translated into English by a Scotsman, Peter Tait, who showed Thomson some ingenious experiments with smoke rings to illustrate Helmholtz' ideas. The main point was that in an ideal fluid, a vortex line is always composed of the same particles, it remains unbroken , so it is ring-like. Vortices can also form interesting combinations -- A good demonstration is provided by creating two vortex rings one right after the other going in the same direction. They can trap each other, each going through the other in succession. This is probably what Tait showed Thomson, and it gave Thomson the idea that atoms might somehow be vortices in the ether. Of course, in a non ideal fluid like air, the vortices dissipate after a while, so Helholtz' mathematical theorem about their permanence is only approximate."

For the general physical principle, see Principle of minimum energy. In the field of computational chemistry, energy minimization (also called energy optimization, geometry minimization, or geometry optimization) is the process of finding an arrangement in space of a collection of atoms where, according to some computational model of chemical bonding, the net inter-atomic force on each atom is acceptably close to zero and the position on the potential energy surface (PES) is a stationary point (described later). The collection of atoms might be a single molecule, an ion, a condensed phase, a transition state or even a collection of any of these. The computational model of chemical bonding might, for example, be quantum mechanics. As an example, when optimizing the geometry of a water molecule, one aims to obtain the hydrogen-oxygen bond lengths and the hydrogen-oxygen-hydrogen bond angle which minimize the forces that would otherwise be pulling atoms together or pushing them apart. The motivation for performing a geometry optimization is the physical significance of the obtained structure: optimized structures often correspond to a substance as it is found in nature and the geometry of such a structure can be used in a variety of experimental and theoretical investigations in the fields of chemical structure, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, spectroscopy and others. Typically, but not always, the process seeks to find the geometry of a particular arrangement of the atoms that represents a local or global energy minimum. Instead of searching for global energy minimum, it might be desirable to optimize to a transition state, that is, a saddle point on the potential energy surface. [ 1] Additionally, certain coordinates (such as a chemical bond length) might be fixed during the optimization."

Although originally thought of as the smallest form of matter, atoms are really made up of even smaller particles: a nucleus consisting of protons and neutrons and electrons in shells around the nucleus. The most common way to picture an atom is the solar system model. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the element's atomic number. The number of electrons typically equals the number of protons. The mass of an atom is approximately the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in it nucleus. Questions you may have include: What is the Bohr model of the atom? How is the nucleus put together? What are the electron shells? This lesson will answer those questions."

"text": "Historians still call the year 1905 the annus mirabilis, the miracle year because in that year Einstein published four remarkable scientific papers ranging from the smallest scale to the largest, through fundamental problems about the nature of energy, matter, motion, time and space. In March 1905 , Einstein created the quantum theory of light, the idea that light exists as tiny packets, or particles, which he called photons. Alongside Max Planck's work on quanta of heat Einstein proposed one of the most shocking idea in twentieth century physics: we live in a quantum universe, one built out of tiny, discrete chunks of energy and matter. Next, in April and May, Einstein published two papers. In one he invented a new method of counting and determining the size of the atoms or molecules in a given space and in the other he explains the phenomenon of Brownian motion. The net result was a proof that atoms actually exist - still an issue at that time - and the end to a millennia-old debate on the fundamental nature of the chemical elements. And then, in June, Einstein completed special relativity - which added a twist to the story: Einstein's March paper treated light as particles, but special relativity sees light as a continuous field of waves. Such a contradiction took a supremely confident mind to propose. Einstein, age 26, saw light as wave and particle, picking the attribute he needed to confront each problem in turn. Einstein wasn't finished yet."

Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. ( November 2013) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)In physics, the fundamental interactions, also known as fundamental forces, are the interactions that do not appear to be reducible to more basic interactions. There are four fundamental interactions known to exist: the gravitational and electromagnetic interactions, which produce significant long-range forces whose effects can be seen directly in everyday life, and the strong and weak interactions, which produce forces at minuscule, subatomic distances and govern nuclear interactions. Some scientists [1] [2] [3] speculate that a fifth force might exist but if so, it is not widely accepted nor proven. Each of the known fundamental interactions can be described mathematically as a field. The gravitational force is attributed to the curvature of spacetime, described by Einstein's general theory of relativity. The other three are discrete quantum fields, and their interactions are mediated by elementary particles described by the Standard Model of particle physics. Within the Standard Model, the strong interaction is carried by a particle called the gluon, and is responsible for the binding of quarks together to form hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. As a residual effect, it creates the nuclear force that binds the latter particles to form atomic nuclei."

"text": "\"1 From orbits to orbitals About ten years after Bohr had developed his theory, de Broglie showed that the electron should have wavelike properties of its own, thus making the analogy with the mechanical theory of standing waves somewhat less artificial. One serious difficulty with the Bohr model still remained, however: it was unable to explain the spectrum of any atom more complicated than hydrogen. A refinement suggested by Sommerfeld assumed that some of the orbits are elliptical instead of circular, and invoked a second quantum number, l, that indicated the degree of ellipticity. This concept proved useful, and it also began to offer some correlation with the placement of the elements in the periodic table. The Schrödinger equation By 1926, de Broglie's theory of the wave nature of the electron had been experimentally confirmed, and the stage was set for its extension to all matter. At about the same time, three apparently very different theories that attempted to treat matter in general terms were developed. These were Schrödinger's wave mechanics, Heisenberg's matrix mechanics, and a more abstract theory of P. A. M. Dirac. These eventually were seen to be mathematically equivalent, and all continue to be useful. Of these alternative treatments, the one developed by Schrödinger is the most easily visualized. Schrödinger started with the simple requirement that the total energy of the electron is the sum of its kinetic and potential energies: The second term represents the potential energy of an electron (whose charge is denoted by e) at a distance r from a proton (the nucleus of the hydrogen atom)."

It expresses the inability of the classical concepts \"\"particle\"\" or \"\"wave\"\" to fully describe the behavior of quantum-scale objects. As Albert Einstein wrote: [1]It seems as though we must use sometimes the one theory and sometimes the other, while at times we may use either. We are faced with a new kind of difficulty. We have two contradictory pictures of reality; separately neither of them fully explains the phenomena of light, but together they do. Through the work of Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Louis de Broglie, Arthur Compton, Niels Bohr and many others, current scientific theory holds that all particles also have a wave nature (and vice versa).

Yet you do not have to be a physicist to know the simple answer!Astrophysicists look into the heavens and capture images and data with various scientific instruments. They know that the total mass of all matter is not enough to provide the gravity needed to keep everything in the universe from flying apart. They are left to ponder the question, “What is it that is holding the universe together?”International teams of astronomers scan stars and galaxies that are unimaginable distances away. Using modern instruments and means of detection, they have detected a mysterious cosmic force and have hypothesized that it may be the answer to the question. They call it “dark matter. ”At the same time, the physics of the astrophysical realm is at odds with that of atomic physics. Albert Einstein spent the latter part of his life seeking a unified field theory that would describe nature’s forces and elementary particles in a unified way. Physicists know that the separate physics theories and the equations for both are incompatible. The equations do not work when the two are brought together."

We have the results from painstaking experiments that showed us once more that deep inelastic scattering shows a hard core inside the protons and neutrons.

"text": "\"Schrödinger's equation — what is it? By Marianne Freiberger Submitted by Marianne on August 2, 2012Here is a typical textbook question. Your car has run out of petrol. With how much force do you need to push it to accelerate it to a given speed? The answer comes from Newton’s second law of motion:where is acceleration, is force and is mass. This wonderfully straightforward, yet subtle law allows you to describe motion of all kinds and so it can, in theory at least, answer pretty much any question a physicist might want to ask about the world. Schrödinger's equation is named after Erwin Schrödinger, 1887-1961. Or can it? When people first started considering the world at the smallest scales, for example electrons orbiting the nucleus of an atom, they realised that things get very weird indeed and that Newton's laws no longer apply. To describe this tiny world you need quantum mechanics, a theory developed at the beginning of the twentieth century."

Yes Somewhat No Answer by Eccles-Jordan Trigger Circuit Confidence votes 38.0KThis circuit is used in most electronic digital computers ever built & was invented in 1918 (patent GB148582). What is it now called? Matter and energy are equivalent - Einstein proved E=MC2 which means Energy (E)= mass (M) x the speed of light (C) squared. Note the speed of light is a VERY big number (299792458 m / s). So basically matter is a solid form of energy. This solid energy forms small particles (subatomic particles) which combine together to form \"\"Atoms\"\". Atoms may contain different amounts of these subatomic particles and this difference gives rise to the roughly 100 \"\"Elements\"\" we find on the Periodic Table of the Elements."

"text": "It may be hard to believe that the cause of gravity continues to remain one of the great mysteries of science, even to this day. This article will briefly explore our understanding of gravity. We are all familiar with the effects of gravity. The story of Newton being hit on the head by an apple leading to his discovery of gravity is often taught to school children. In short, gravity is a natural phenomenon by which all physical bodies attract each other. For example, the Earth attracts you and keeps you grounded. When you weigh yourself, you are actually measuring the effect gravity has on your body. Although this seems obvious, science still continues to debate what causes gravity. In 1687, English mathematician Sir Isaac Newton published Principia and wrote, “ “I deduced that the forces which keep the planets in their orbs must [be] reciprocally as the squares of their distances from the centers about which they revolve: and thereby compared the force requisite to keep the Moon in her Orb with the force of gravity at the surface of the Earth; and found them answer pretty nearly. ”This became known as Newton’s inverse square law of gravity."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Chemistry How do we know atoms exist?1 following 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: If the question is how can we verify by a science, it is because directly and indirectly, in some ways, we can actually see the atoms. ( Source 1) For some people, the simple (well, not-so-simple) invention of the atomic bomb is more than enough proof that atoms exist. ( Source 2) Furthermore, scientists can even prove the existence of some even smaller particles, which make up the atom. Some of these particles are known as the \"\"lepton\"\" family: the electron, neutrino, muon, muon neutrino, tau, and tau neutrino. ( Sources 3) Another likewise smaller particle is known as the \"\"hadron\"\" family, starting with what is most likely familiar to you: protons, neutrons, anti-protons, lambda, and omega (Source 4) Even more, scientists can prove some of and others they cannot prove, of the following theoretical particles known as \"\"quarks\"\" (these particles are what make up the \"\"hadrons\"\" [like a proton or neutron]): (in order of size, the largest first): up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom. ( Sources 5) The \"\"charm\"\" and the \"\"strange\"\" quarks are not yet proven, but the other quarks are proven. ( Source 6) There are a large number of other very small particles, especially according to a theory called the \"\"String Theory\"\", but most of them were \"\"invented\"\" to help solve equations, but are actually believed to exist even though current technology does not allow these extremely small particles to be seen. ( Source 7) Some of the smallest particles do not actually exist on Earth except when created by what is called a \"\"particle accelerator\"\" (which speeds individual particles towards each other, sometimes as fast as close to light speed, and 'steer' them to collide into each other to break them apart and sometimes create new particles.

Please help improve this article by introducing citations to additional sources. ( April 2012)In physics, tension may be described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object; tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements. Tension could be the opposite of compression. At the atomic level, when atoms or molecules are pulled apart from each other and gain potential energy with a restoring force still existing, the restoring force might create what is also called tension. Each end of a string or rod under such tension could pull on the object it is attached to, in order to restore the string/rod to its relaxed length. In physics, tension, as a transmitted force, as an action-reaction pair of forces, or as a restoring force, may be a force and has the units of force measured in newtons (or sometimes pounds-force ). The ends of a string or other object transmitting tension will exert forces on the objects to which the string or rod is connected, in the direction of the string at the point of attachment. These forces due to tension are also called \"\"passive forces\"\"."

But the atom is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. And protons are made up of smaller pieces of quarks, and electrons are made up of smaller pieces called leptons. Now I do believe this is where science has reached its current limit but with the LHC in switzerland, we might see new discoveries. So as of now, you could say the smallest unit of matter is a quark or a lepton (not sure which one is smaller). You can also go into String Theory, which is a theory that all matter is made up vibrating strings.

It is one of the best-preserved \"\"wet-target\"\" or marine impact craters, and the largest known impact crater in the U. S. Continued slumping of sediments over the rubble of the crater has helped shape the Chesapeake Bay. Contents [ hide ]1 Formation and aftermath2 Discovery3 Effects on local rivers4 See also5 References6 Bibliography7 External links Formation and aftermath [ edit]During the warm late Eocene, sea levels were high, and the Tidewater region of Virginia lay in the coastal shallows. The shore of eastern North America, about where Richmond, Virginia, is today, was covered with dense tropical rainforest, and the waters of the gently sloping continental shelf were rich with marine life that was depositing dense layers of lime from their microscopic shells. Boundaries of the crater The bolide made impact at a speed of many kilometers per second, punching a deep hole through the sediments and into the granite continental basement rock. The bolide itself was completely vaporized, with the basement rock being fractured to depths of 8 km (5.0 mi), and a peak ring being raised around it. The deep crater, 38 km (24 mi) across, is surrounded by a flat-floored terrace-like ring trough with an outer edge of collapsed blocks forming ring faults. The entire circular crater is about 85 km (53 mi) in diameter and 1.3 km (0.81 mi) deep, an area twice the size of Rhode Island, and nearly as deep as the Grand Canyon. However, numerical modeling techniques by Collins et al. indicate that the post-impact diameter was likely to have been around 40 km (25 mi), rather than the observed 85 km (53 mi). ["

One of the original 13 states, it lies at the centre of the Eastern Seaboard, amid the great commercial and population complex that stretches from Maine to Virginia. Its small size belies the great diversity of its landscapes and of the ways of life that they foster, from the low-lying and water-oriented Eastern Shore and Chesapeake Bay area, through the metropolitan hurly-burly of Baltimore, its largest city, to the forested Appalachian foothills and mountains of its western reaches. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Maryland was named in honour of Henrietta Maria, the wife of King Charles I, by a grateful Cecilius (Cecil) Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, who was granted a charter for the land in 1632. Annapolis, the state capital, lies on Chesapeake Bay, roughly equidistant from Baltimore (north) and Washington, D. C. (west). Boats in harbour near City Dock, Annapolis, Md. Tim Tadder/Maryland Office of Tourism Geography has provided Maryland a role in U. S. history as a pivot between the North and the South. Its northern border with Pennsylvania is the famous Mason and Dixon Line, drawn in the 1760s to settle disputes between the Penn and Calvert families and traditionally regarded as the boundary between the North and the South. To the south much of the boundary with Virginia is formed by the Potomac River, a symbolic barrier during the American Civil War. On the north bank of the Potomac lies the District of Columbia (coterminous with the city of Washington, D. C.), a small enclave ceded by Maryland in 1791 for the site of the national capital. East of the Chesapeake, the Eastern Shore shares the Delmarva Peninsula with Delaware on the north and Virginia on the south."

The ship's captain, Antonio Velázquez, had been running supplies from a Spanish settlement at Polanco (present-day Pensacola, Florida) to another settlement at the Point of Santa Elena (near present-day Parris Island, South Carolina) when a storm blew him north and into the Chesapeake Bay. He and his crew were probably in search of fresh water when they spied two Indians on shore. Historians have variously suggested that Paquiquineo hailed from a Paspahegh, Chiskiack, or Kecoughtan family, but most seem to agree that he was a boy or young man at the time. Spanish chroniclers and subsequent historians have provided conflicting versions of Paquiquineo's encounter with the Europeans. The Relation of Bartolomé Martínez, written by a minor Spanish official and dated October 24, 1610, claims that Paquiquineo met the Spanish with his father, the chief. The Spanish captain (whom Martínez misidentified as Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, the founder of Saint Augustine) first \"\"regaled\"\" the Indians with gifts of food and clothing, and then asked the chief for permission to take Paquiquineo to meet the king of Spain. The chief assented. While many historians have broadly accepted this version of events, others have argued that it is more likely that Paquiquineo was kidnapped. Spanish captains regularly captured boys and young men to serve as interpreters."

"text": "Produced by Will Parson Overview Sediment is made up of loose particles of sand, silt and clay. It is a natural part of the Chesapeake Bay, created by the weathering of rocks and soil. In excess amounts, sediment can cloud the waters of the Bay and its tributaries, harming underwater grasses, fish and shellfish. Where does sediment come from? Sediment forms when rocks and soil weather and erode. Around 5.2 million tons of sediment enter the Chesapeake Bay in an average year. There are two major sources of sediment: eroding land and stream banks—called watershed sources of sediment—and eroding shorelines and coasts—called tidal sources of sediment. Watershed sources of sediment Eroding land and stream banks are called watershed sources of sediment. Watershed erosion increases when land is cleared of vegetation to make way for agriculture and development. Scientists estimate that most of the sediment that flows into the Chesapeake Bay comes from watershed sources."

Talbot County's long history has always been linked to the water that surrounds it. With more than 600 miles of tidal shoreline, the most of any county in the United States, it retains a maritime flavor to an unusual degree. Like the Native Americans who moved through this area many centuries ago, European settlers were drawn to Talbot County's wealth of natural resources and profusion of waterways for ease in travel. Its first English settlers, arriving by boat in the 1630s, established tobacco plantations along the shores of the Choptank, Wye, Tred Avon and St. Michaels (now Miles) rivers on the long stretch of Chesapeake Bay coast known as Bayside and on its countless creeks and coves. By 1662, these settlers had formally created Talbot County. Boundary adjustments were made in 1706 with the establishment of Queen Anne's County to the north and again in 1773 with the creation of Caroline County to the east, resulting in the Talbot County of today. For a century, Talbot life center around tidewater and tobacco, which served as money and was traded for English manufactured goods with ships which anchored directly off the plantation wharves. Oxford, its first town, was laid out in 1683 and served as a port of call for vessels from all over the world. St. Michaels was an early shipbuilding center and created the swift, sharp-hulled sailing craft later known as the \"\"Baltimore Clipper,\"\" famous in the War of 1812."

A popular kind of map, the T-O map, divided the world into three regions—Asia, Europe, and Africa—separated by the T-shaped intersection of the Mediterranean Sea and the Don and Nile rivers. All of this was contained within a large circle with Jerusalem at its center. For some mapmakers, the T shape called to mind the cross on which Jesus had died, and they seized on this image to incorporate Christ into the geography of the world. These maps were oriented with the east at the top, privileging where Christians believed life had begun. Many Europeans thought the history of civilization would follow the same path as the sun: rising (Latin oriens) in the east and falling ( occidens) in the west. In the twelfth century, the German bishop Otto of Freising wrote \"\"that because all human learning began in the Orient and will end in the Occident, the mutability and disappearance of all things is demonstrated.\"\" In other words, the apocalypse would happen somewhere in the West, and it was important to many Christians that nonbelievers be baptized before the end came. Although this helped motivate the explorations that led Europeans to America, it does not explain them. When the Age of Exploration began, the Far East was more advanced than Europe in terms of technology, economy, and culture."

S. states of Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia, lying inland from the Atlantic Ocean and surrounded to the west by the North American mainland and to the east by the Delmarva Peninsula. [ 2] With its northern portion in Maryland and the southern part in Virginia, the Chesapeake Bay is a very important feature for the ecology and economy of those two states, as well as others. More than 150 major rivers and streams flow into the bay's 64,299-square-mile (166,534 km 2) drainage basin, which covers parts of six states ( New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia) and all of Washington, D. C. [2] [3]The bay is approximately 200 miles (320 km) long from its northern headwaters in the Susquehanna River to its outlet in the Atlantic Ocean. It is 2.8 miles (4.5 km) wide at its narrowest (between Kent County's Plum Point near Newtown and the Harford County shore near Romney Creek) and 30 miles (48 km) at its widest (just south of the mouth of the Potomac River ). Total shoreline including tributaries is 11,684 miles (18,804 km), circumnavigating a surface area of 4,479 square miles (11,601 km 2 ). Average depth is 21 feet (6.4 m), reaching a maximum of 174 feet (53 m). [ 4] The bay is spanned twice, in Maryland by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge from Sandy Point (near Annapolis) to Kent Island and in Virginia by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel connecting Virginia Beach to Cape Charles. Known for both its beauty and bounty, the bay has become \"\"emptier\"\", with fewer crabs, oysters and watermen in past years. [ 5] Recent restoration efforts begun in the 1990s have been ongoing and show potential for growth of the native oyster population. [ 6] [7] The health of the Chesapeake Bay improved in 2015, marking three years of gains over the past four years, according to a new report by the University of Maryland. ["

"text": "Home The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel Last updated: January 29, 2018Description Highlights Facebook Stream Comments Each time we drove to Virginia Beach I noticed small blue signs along the road side. The signs had a picture of a sea bird and the words Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel on them. I always wondered what exactly this bridge tunnel was. After a day out in Virginia Beach I decided to use the internet to find out exactly what these blue signs were pointing too. Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel I was surprised and amazed to find out that The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel was a series of bridges and tunnels stretching 17.2 miles across the busy entrance to the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel was opened in 1964, it replaced the ferry service which ran from Virginia Beach to the Eastern shore. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel quickly became a vital piece of road and a tourist attraction. To ease the flow of traffic a second set of bridges was built along side the original in 1999. When you start driving on to the bridge it feels like you are driving out in to the ocean, after 3.5 miles the bridge disappears under the sea and into the first of the tunnels. It is on the first bridge that you will find the restaurant, gift shop, view points and fishing pier."

Open Document Life in New England Opposed To The Chesapeake Bay In The 1600s During the 1600's, many people in the American colonies led very many different lives, some better than others. While life was hard for some groups, other colonists were healthy and happy. Two groups that display such a difference are the colonists of New England and Chesapeake Bay. New Englanders enjoyed a much higher standard of living. This high standard of New England's was due to many factors, including a healthier environment, better family situation, and a high rate of reproduction. First, the inhabitants of the New England area were far healthier. Their clean water supply was a sharp contrast to the contaminated waters of Chesapeake Bay. Air was also fresh and clean in New England. Chesapeake Bay colonists were plagued by disease due to their unsanitary way of life, and New Englanders could expect ten extra years of life because of migrating there in fact, on average, they lived to be nearly 70, close to the same life expectancy as today. Second, those who migrated to New England tended to come over as families, quite dissimilar to the single men who flooded Chesapeake Bay."

"text": "\"Since the early 1970s, many people interested in Chesapeake Bay--waterfowl hunters, fishermen, oystermen, ecologists, researchers, and waterfront residents have been concerned about the apparent decline of aquatic grass beds in the Bay. Many people fear that this decline win force, or has already forced, some species of waterfowl to change their feeding habits and to move out of this region in search of more suitable habitats. Others speculate that the decline of theft aquatic plants is an indication of serious deterioration in the \"\"health\"\" of the Chesapeake. Still others feel that the loss of the grasses will affect commercial fisheries in the Bay. In response to. these concerns, \"\"Summary of Available Information on Chesapeake Bay Submerged Vegetation\"\" was compiled in August 1978 by the University of Maryland Laboratory Center for Environmental Estuarine Studies at Horn Point, Maryland. This brochure features highlights from that more comprehensive document. What Plants Make up Bay Grasses? Although not true members of the grass family, submerged aquatic plants are often referred to as \"\"grasses.\"\" Common names such as eelgrass and widgeongrass have evolved due to their resemblance to true grasses."

"text": "Produced by Steve Droter Overview Plants and animals need nutrients to survive. But when too many nutrients enter rivers, streams and the Chesapeake Bay, they fuel the growth of algae blooms and create conditions that are harmful for fish, shellfish and other underwater life. In fact, excess nutrients are the main cause of the Bay’s poor health. Why are excess nutrients a problem for the Chesapeake Bay? Excess nutrients fuel the growth of harmful algae blooms, which:block sunlight from reaching underwater grasses, andduring decomposition, create low-oxygen “dead zones” that rob the water of oxygen and suffocate marine life. How do excess nutrients enter the Chesapeake Bay? While nutrients are a natural part of the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem, nutrients have never been so abundant in the environment. Before humans built roads, homes and farm fields, most nutrients were trapped and absorbed by forest and wetland plants. As these habitats were removed to accommodate a growing population, nutrient pollution to the Bay increased. Almost all people and industries in the watershed—and even some outside of the watershed—send nutrients into the Bay and its tributaries."

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, the official name of which is the Lucius J. Kellam, Jr. Bridge-Tunnel, was completed in 1964. Until the opening of the Bridge-Tunnel, passenger cars and trains crossed the Chesapeake Bay on ferries. Railroad barges still make the trip between Cape Charles and Norfolk. A second span of bridges was opened in 1999, allowing for four lanes of traffic with separate bridges for northbound and southbound traffic."

The Manhattan Project combined America’s technological, industrial, scientific and financial might to produce the atomic bomb. The Manhattan Project brought together all the knowledge then known with regards to nuclear fission and culminated on July 16th, 1945, with an atomic bomb being exploded at Alamogordo in New Mexico. On August 6th and August 9th, two atomic bombs were used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

By mid-July, 1945, not even Robert Oppenheimer knew if ‘The Beast’ or ‘The Thing’ or ‘The Device’ (as the scientists variously nick-named the bomb) and he was the civilian leader of the project. Plutonium had not existed four years earlier and no-one was totally sure what reaction there would be when the bomb was detonated."

However, it opened the world to the Atomic Age and killed or injured over 200,000 people in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The aftermath and consequences of the atomic bombs are not to be underestimated. What Was the Manhattan Project? The Manhattan Project was named for Columbia University in Manhattan, New York, one of the initial sites of atomic study in the United States. While the research took place at several secret sites across the U. S., much of it, including the first atomic tests, took place near Los Alamos, New Mexico. During the project, the U.

"text": "\"Manhattan Project█ BRENDA WILMOTH LERNERThe Manhattan Project was an epic, secret, wartime effort to design and build the world's first nuclear weapon. Commanding the efforts of the world's greatest physicists and mathematicians during World War II, the $20 billion project resulted in the production of the first uranium and plutonium bombs. The American quest for nuclear explosives was driven by the fear that Hitler's Germany would invent them first and thereby gain a decisive military advantage. The monumental project took less than four years, and encompassed construction of vast facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and Hanford, Washington, thatwere used for the purpose of obtaining sufficient quantities of the isotopes uranium-235 and plutonium-239, necessary to produce the fission chain reaction, which released the bombs' destructive energy. After a successful test in Alamogordo, New Mexico, the United States exploded a nuclear bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Three days later another bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki, and spurred the Japanese surrender that ended World War II. In the 1930s and early 1940s, fundamental discoveries regarding the neutron and atomic physics allowed for the possibility of induced nuclear chain reactions. Danish physicist Neils Bohr's (1885 – 1962) compound nucleus theory, for example, laid the foundation for the theoretical exploration of fission, the process whereby the central part of an atom, the nucleus, absorbs a neutron, then breaks into two equal fragments. In certain elements, such as plutonium-239, the fragments release other neutrons which quickly break up more atoms, creating a chain reaction that releases large amounts of heat and radiation. Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard (1898 – 1964) conceived the idea of the nuclear chain reaction in 1933, and immediately became concerned that, if practical, nuclear energy could be used to make weapons of war."

A new station adjacent to New York Penn Station was to be constructed as running more trains into the current station was deemed unfeasible. An estimated budget for the project was $8.7 billion. Construction began in mid-2009 and the project was slated for completion in 2018, but it was cancelled in October 2010 by Governor Chris Christie, citing the possibility of cost overruns and the state's lack of funds. [ 3] $600 million had been spent on the project. [ 4]The project was initiated after studies conducted in the 1990s determined that new rail tunnels under the Hudson River were the best approach to address transportation needs for the New York metropolitan area. At times called the Trans Hudson Express Tunnel (THE Tunnel) or the Mass Transit Tunnel, it eventually became known by the name of a Major Investment Study, and received endorsements from both New Jersey and New York governors. [ 5] It was colloquially dubbed the tunnel to Macy's basement, [6] in reference to its terminus under 34th Street (Manhattan)."

"text": "\"Arts & Humanities History Who discovered atomic bomb?1 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: During World War II, the United States, with the assistance (collaboration) of physicists, mathematicians, and engineers from the U. S., Britain, Canada and Germany (former Nazi physicists), completed the Manhattan Project to produce the first atomic bomb. ( The project started as the \"\"Manhattan District Engineers\"\" and only became \"\"The Manhattan Project\"\" some time later). There was some early speculation about the possibility of what could be done if a nuclear chain reaction was unleashed in a way that would allow it to build without control. For a roll call, consider that Robert Oppenheimer was the head of \"\"science\"\" for the Manhattan Project, and (in alphabetical order) Felix Block, David Bohm, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, James Franck, Otto Frisch, Klaus Fuchs, Rudolf Peierls, Emilio Segre, Leo Szilard, Edward Teller and Eugene Wigner all played crucial roles in getting the weapon designed and built. The physicist Albert Einstein did not participate directly in the invention of the atomic bomb-but was instrumental in facilitating its development. His Special Theory of Relativity emphasized that a large amount of energy could be released from a small amount of matter. This was expressed by the equation E=mc2 (energy = mass times the speed of light squared). The atomic bomb would clearly illustrate this principle. The first demonstration of \"\"the gadget\"\" (the code name for the first atomic bomb) was at Trinity site in Alamogordo, New Mexico, and it proved that the weapon would detonate and that the chain would build as predicted. The second and third demonstrations were conducted in Japan, which brought a quick end to the Second World War."

"text": "\"Meditations A bomb without Einstein?by Alex Wellerstein, published June 27th, 2014If Albert Einstein had never been born, would it have changed when nuclear weapons were first produced? For whatever reason, I’ve seen this question being asked repeatedly on Internet forums, as odd as it is. It’s kind of a silly question. You can’t go in and tweak one variable in the past and then think you could know what the outcome would be. History is a chaotic system; start removing variables, who knows what would happen. Much less a variable named Albert Einstein, one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century, and whose importance extended well past the equations he wrote… and those were pretty important equations, at that!Einstein’s 1946 cover of Time magazine. The mushroom cloud is a beautifully executed combination of the Trinity and Nagasaki mushroom clouds. On the other hand, this kind of science-fiction counterfactual can have its usefulness as a thought experiment. It isn’t history, but it can be used to illustrate some important aspects about the early history of the atomic bomb that a lot of people don’t know, and to undo a little bit of the “great man” obsession with bomb history. Albert Einstein has been associated with the bomb both through his famous mass-energy equivalence calculation (E=mc²) and because of the famous Einstein-Szilard letter to Roosevelt in 1939."

( DAVE PICKOFF/AP)There are more than 2,000 bridges and tunnels in and around New York City. Some, of course, are better known — and more expensive — than others. So, break out your EZ-PASS for our in-depth look at some of the most iconic bridges and tunnels of the Big Apple. Brooklyn Bridge: The Eighth Wonder of the World When the Brooklyn Bridge opened in May of 1883, it was an engineering achievement dubbed \"\"The Eighth Wonder of the World,\"\" according to the History Channel. The notorious and corrupt Boss Tweed — the man who opposed the creation of the early pneumatic subway system — loved the idea of a bridge between Manhattan and Brooklyn, which were still two different cities back then. In fact, he was so interested that he racked up $65,000 of bribes to get the $1.5 million of bonds issued to back the massive undertaking. A look at the bridges and tunnels of NYC through the years Of course, Tweed wasn't just involved in the project out of the goodness of his heart — he wanted to skim some money off the top, like he usually did with public works projects. Construction began in 1869, but Tweed was arrested in 1871 — though his devious plans seemed almost a harbinger of bad things to come. In the course of construction, somewhere between 20 and 30 men died, including the bridge's designer, John Roebling."

This may be due to last year's tenth-anniversary event, when the crowd offered George W. Bush a brief yet rousing huzzah and gave Barack Obama the silent treatment. It may be that like the Oscars, the 9/11 commemoration tends to run long, what with the reading of nearly three thousand victims' names, and stilling the pols will save time while offending absolutely no one. New York's mayor, Mike Bloomberg, suggested the names need not be read, since each is etched into the parapets surrounding the memorial pools, but those names, read aloud by friends and family, will echo again across the sixteen acres where they died. Last year, the Memorial Plaza opened on September 11, the first completed project on the site and one of very few feel-good moments during a decade of rebuilding marred by blown deadlines, public backbiting, and billions of dollars in cost overruns. The plaza finally provided the kin a mourning place, and it also seemed like solid evidence of momentum. That momentum died not long after last year's ceremony, when the Port Authority of New York & New Jer-sey, led by Andrew Cuomo and Chris Christie, the governors of the two states, stopped paying the contractors trying to finish work on the Memorial Museum, which was scheduled to open on this year's anniversary. Forget the details for now and focus on a simple fact: The Port and the politicians who run it are pigs. The memorial means nothing to them beyond winning a fight for control of the museum's money and operations — the same fight that every project on the site has inspired."

Ramsay de Give for The New York Times The Metropolitan Transportation Authority plans to close a tunnel that carries the L train, one of New York City’s most crowded subway lines, creating what officials acknowledge will be among the largest disruptions in the transit system’s history. After months of uncertainty, the authority said on Monday that the tunnel, which runs under the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn, would be shut entirely for a year and a half, starting in January 2019, to repair serious damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. The plan promises to upend the commutes of tens of thousands of people along a popular line that has become synonymous with the hipster culture of the Williamsburg and Greenpoint neighborhoods. The reaction was swift, with regular L riders expressing despair. “Instead of three stops, I’ll have to take three trains,” Marley Cavalcanti, 30, of Greenpoint, said as she waited on a platform in the Bedford Avenue station on her way into Manhattan on Monday.

Answer by Neila Rockson Confidence votes 85.8KSolving the world's problems . . . one answer at a time. The Manhattan Project was the project to develop the first nuclear weapon (atomic bomb) during World War II by the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Formally designated as the Manhattan Engineer District (MED), it refers specifically to the period of the project from 1941-1946 under the control of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, under the administration of General Leslie R. Groves. The scientific research was directed by American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. The project succeeded in developing and detonating three nuclear weapons in 1945: a test detonation of a plutonium implosion bomb on July 16 (the Trinity test) near Alamogordo, New Mexico; an enriched uranium bomb code-named \"\"Little Boy\"\" on August 6 over Hiroshima, Japan; and a second plutonium bomb, code-named \"\"Fat Man\"\" on August 9 over Nagasaki, Japan. The project's roots lay in scientists' fears since the 1930s that Nazi Germany was also investigating nuclear weapons of its own. Born out of a small research program in 1939, the Manhattan Project eventually employed more than 130,000 people and cost nearly $2 billion USD ($23 billion in 2007 dollars based on CPI)."

Read More on This Topicnuclear weapon: Founding the Manhattan Project The United States’ entry into World War II in December 1941 was decisive in providing funds for a massive research and production effort for obtaining fissionable materials, and in May 1942 the momentous decision was made to proceed simultaneously on all promising production…READ MOREAmerican scientists, many of them refugees from fascist regimes in Europe, took steps in 1939 to organize a project to exploit the newly recognized fission process for military purposes. The first contact with the government was made by G. B. Pegram of Columbia University, who arranged a conference between Enrico Fermi and the Navy Department in March 1939. In the summer of 1939, Albert Einstein was persuaded by his fellow scientists to use his influence and present the military potential of an uncontrolled fission chain reaction to Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt. In February 1940, $6,000 was made available to start research under the supervision of a committee headed by L. J. Briggs, director of the National Bureau of Standards (later National Institute of Standards and Technology ). On December 6, 1941, the project was put under the direction of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, headed by Vannevar Bush. After the U. S. entry into World War II, the War Department was given joint responsibility for the project, because by mid-1942 it was obvious that a vast array of pilot plants, laboratories, and manufacturing facilities would have to be constructed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers so that the assembled scientists could carry out their mission. In June 1942 the Corps of Engineers’ Manhattan District was initially assigned management of the construction work (because much of the early research had been performed at Columbia University, in Manhattan ), and in September 1942 Brig. Gen. Leslie R. Groves was placed in charge of all Army activities (chiefly engineering activities) relating to the project. “"

Some of debris was shattered remnants of planetesimals – bodies within the young Sun’s solar nebula that never grew large enough to become planets, and scientists theorize that large collisions in the early, chaotic Solar System pulverized these planetesimals into smaller pieces. Other debris never came together due to the massive gravitational pull from Jupiter. These rocky remnants are now the asteroids that travel about our Solar System. Since these “leftovers” contain clues about the early days of our Solar System, scientists are eager to study them. Definition of an Asteroid Asteroids are rocky, metallic bodies that orbit the Sun. They are made from different kinds of rock and metals, with the metals being mostly nickel and iron."

The science questions support the lesson's activities.1. What is a comet? Comets are small, fragile, irregularly shaped bodies composed mostly of a mixture of water ice, dust, and carbon- and silicon-based compounds. They have highly elliptical orbits that repeatedly bring them very close to the Sun and then swing them into space. Comets have three distinct parts: a nucleus, a coma, and a tail. The solid core is called the nucleus, which develops a coma with one or more tails when a comet sweeps close to the Sun. The coma is the dusty, fuzzy cloud around the nucleus of a comet, and the tail extends from the comet and points away from the Sun. The coma and tails of a comet are transient features, present only when the comet is near the Sun.2."

"text": "Jump to: The quiet nucleus | The active nucleus | The fully evolved comet Far from the sun: the quiet nucleus Far from the sun, at distances greater than 3 AU (three times the mean distance from Earth to the sun), a comet’s nucleus is relatively cool, “quiet,” and “bare,” meaning that it hasn’t developed a visible coma . It is still characterized as a dusty snowball hurtling through space, with no visible coma or atmosphere surrounding it, and no ion or dust tails visible either. It is, however, directly exposed to the solar wind , so we know that something must be happening on the surface. The sun’s UV light is probably shaking loose molecules from the nucleus surface that will interact with each other and the UV light. There may be low-level activity in the nucleus, creating a small coma that isn’t visible from great distances. That’s why Rosetta is designed to join comet C-G at aphelion, or its furthest position from the sun. Way out there, far from the sun, Rosetta’s ALICE instrument will map the nucleus for pockets of both dust and ice. MIRO and ROSINA will look for water coming off the nucleus. MIRO will do it remotely, and ROSINA will wait for particles to actually hit its detectors. IES will explore any interaction of the solar wind and the nucleus."

For a few months, before and after that date, the comet will be visible from our vantage point on the Earth — but, alas, not as well as it was in 1910. We begin the inaugural issue of The Universe in the Classroom with an in-depth look at Comet Halley (pronounced to rhyme with \"\"Sally'') and its upcoming \"\"not-so-close encounter'' with the Earth. What exactly are comets? Why does Comet Halley come back regularly? Why is the comet named Halley? Is Comet Halley on target for its rendezvous with the inner solar system? How well will we be able to see Comet Halley this time around? Here in the United States, when will be the best times to see the comet?"

This produces a visible atmosphere or coma, and sometimes also a tail. These phenomena are due to the effects of solar radiation and the solar wind acting upon the nucleus of the comet. Comet nuclei range from a few hundred metres to tens of kilometres across and are composed of loose collections of ice, dust, and small rocky particles. The coma may be up to 15 times the Earth's diameter, while the tail may stretch one astronomical unit. If sufficiently bright, a comet may be seen from the Earth without the aid of a telescope and may subtend an arc of 30° (60 Moons) across the sky. Comets have been observed and recorded since ancient times by many cultures. Comets usually have highly eccentric elliptical orbits, and they have a wide range of orbital periods, ranging from several years to potentially several millions of years."

Most comets are no larger than a few kilometres across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. When a comet is heated by the Sun, its ices begin to sublimate (similar to the way dry ice “fizzes” when you leave it in sunlight). The mixture of ice crystals and dust blows away from the comet nucleus in the solar wind, creating a pair of tails. The dust tail is what we normally see when we view comets from Earth. A plasma tail also forms when molecules of gas are “excited” by interaction with the solar wind. The plasma tail is not normally seen with the naked eye, but can be imaged. Comets normally orbit the Sun, and have their origins in the Oort Cloud and Kuiper Belt regions of the outer solar system."

We are now treated to a near constant barrage of magnificent comet photos, but be aware that most are from highly experienced amateur astrophotographers using telescopes and solid-state sensors, or from professional astronomers using big telescopes, or even from the International Space Station, above Earth’s obscuring atmosphere. Meanwhile, from the ground and with the eye alone? Not since Comet Hale-Bopp in 1996-97 has the Northern Hemisphere seen a magnificent comet. What’s more, some skygazers would not classify Hale-Bopp as a Great Comet. In that case, we northerners have to look back to Comet West in 1976 – nearly 40 years ago – to find a Great Comet."

"text": "\"Hale-Bopp and Hyakutake Comet Hale-Bopp The image of Comet Hale-Bopp blazing across the night sky of 1997 has delighted casual stargazers and astronomers alike. It was first spotted in July 1995 by Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp, who observed it the same night in neighboring states (New Mexico and Arizona, respectively). Astronomers immediately became excited about the comet because it appeared to be unusually bright—even when it was still well outside Jupiter's orbit. Careful analysis of a Hubble Space Telescope image indicated that reason for Hale-Bopp's brightness was its exceptionally large size. The nuclei of most comets are about 1-2 miles across. The nucleus of Halley's comet, which is considered to be fairly large, was approximately 10 miles across in its largest dimension. Hale-Bopp's nucleus is estimated to be 25 miles across. Even though Hale-Bopp is farther from the Earth than the Earth is from the sun, it has set an all time visibility record—remaining discernible to the naked eye longer than any other comet in recorded history. First glimpsed in Australia in May 1996, Hale-Bopp should remain visible until the end of 1997. This 18-month spectacle will last twice as long as the previous record holder, Comet Flaugergues, which was visible to the naked eye for nine months in 1811."

"text": "Four new lines of reasoning support a revised and enhanced version of this theory. First, instead of the various unpersuasive suggestions that Velikovsky and others have made for how a cometary Venus could have emerged from Jupiter, we should consider the possible consequences of the immense gravitational field of Jupiter, which pulls into the giant planet a stream of asteroids and comets such as Shoemaker-Levy 9 in 1994. A plausible scenario would have an initially dark, cold proto-Venus, pulled by Jupiter’s gravity from the outer solar system shortly before 2500 B. C., pass close to Jupiter yet manage to escape its gravitational field. We can term this the Peripheral Passage of Jupiter by Venus, and we can assume that extreme tidal forces from Jupiter’s gravitational field created tremendous heating and a great cometary tail visible to observers on Earth. This would account for the curious stories of the ancient Greeks, that Athena (Venus—eventually Aphrodite replaced Athena in this role) was born from the head of Zeus (Jupiter), and of the ancient Hindus, that Shukra (Venus) emerged from the mouth of Shiva (Guru or Jupiter). According to Greek myth, Zeus turned the pregnant Metis into a fly who zipped into his mouth. She gave birth to Athena inside of him, and then Athena emerged from his head on the opposite side from his mouth. In effect, a Greek observer spotted proto-Venus when it was approaching Jupiter as tidal friction heated it up to incandescence, and the Greeks called it Metis (this interpretation postdates Velikovsky). We also now know that Athena was originally A Fena, The Phoenician, referring to the brilliant comet rising in the East. 1 So, too, the Roman Venus (evidently originally Fenus, The Phoenician)."

It is important to understand what causes it in your home so you can protect your family from the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. There are many precautions you can take that will help your family avoid dangerous exposure to carbon monoxide. Click on any of the potential carbon monoxide sources in the house pictured below to read safety tips on how to stop carbon monoxide from invading your home. Click on a specific area or appliance on the house... If you suspect that CO is contaminating your home, the first thing you should do is to ventilate the area by opening all the windows. If you or a member of your family displays sudden flu-like symptoms, immediately evacuate your home and call the Gas Company, Oil Company, or fire department from a neighbor's house. A UL listed carbon monoxide detector or CO alarm is the best protection from the deadly dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. Make sure that the CO detector or CO alarm you use has been fully approved for its intended use. For example, do not use home-use CO alarms in boats or recreational vehicles, or garages as you may not be fully protected from the dangers of carbon monoxide. Never unplug or remove the battery to silence a CO detector or CO alarm."

Carbon Monoxide detector connected to a North American power outlet Carbon monoxide alarm A carbon monoxide detector or CO detector is a device that detects the presence of the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. In the late 1990s Underwriters Laboratories changed their definition of a single station CO detector with a sound device in it to a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm. This applies to all CO safety alarms that meet UL 2034 standard [1]; however for passive indicators and system devices that meet UL 2075, UL refers to these as carbon monoxide detectors. CO is a colorless, tasteless and odorless compound produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing materials. It is often referred to as the \"\"silent killer\"\" because it is virtually undetectable by humans without using detection technology and, in a study by Underwriters Laboratories, \"\"Sixty percent of Americans could not identify any potential signs of a CO leak in the home\"\". [ 2] Elevated levels of CO can be dangerous to humans depending on the amount present and length of exposure."

Simply put, it's a carrier protein. Interestingly it doesn't carry carbon dioxide in the same way it does for oxygen 2. Oxygen binds to the iron atoms in the protein whereas carbon dioxide 2 is bound to the protein chains of the structure. Carbon dioxide doesn't compete with oxygen in this binding process. However, carbon monoxide is a very aggressive molecule. It's a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas that is lighter than air and can be fatal to life. It has a greater affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen does. It displaces oxygen and quickly binds, so very little oxygen is transported through the body cells."

Over the course of thousands of years, humans have optimized fire technology from campfires to stovetops, chimneys to the truly modern ventless gas fireplace! This ventless fireplace doesn’t come without its inherent pros and cons, however. In fact, there are quite a few to consider before committing to a whole purchase. About The Ventless Fireplace Ventless gas fireplaces are freestanding units with no flue, chimney or vent that carries the exhaust outside. They are designed to burn very efficiently, resulting in complete combustion and maximum heat. Using indoor air for combustion, the byproducts are primarily small traces of carbon dioxide and water vapor. In all actuality, however, impurities such as odorant, dust, paint, oil and carbon monoxide may be present. As part of health and safety regulation, all ventless gas logs must come equipped with carbon monoxide detectors and oxygen detection safety devises. Many people find the act of burning gas indoors an unsafe practice."

Treating carbon monoxide poisoning Complications of carbon monoxide poisoning Preventing carbon monoxide poisoning What to do if you suspect a carbon monoxide leak Being aware of the signs At-risk groups Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that has no smell or taste. Breathing it in can make you unwell, and it can kill if you're exposed to high levels. Every year there are around 25 deaths from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in England and Wales. After carbon monoxide is breathed in, it enters your bloodstream and mixes with haemoglobin (the part of red blood cells that carry oxygen around your body), to form carboxyhaemoglobin. When this happens, the blood is no longer able to carry oxygen, and this lack of oxygen causes the body’s cells and tissue to fail and die. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning aren't always obvious, particularly during low-level exposure. A tension-type headache is the most common symptom of mild carbon monoxide poisoning. Other symptoms include:dizzinessnausea (feeling sick) and vomitingtiredness and confusionstomach painshortness of breath and difficulty breathing The symptoms of exposure to low levels of carbon monoxide can be similar to those of food poisoning and flu . But unlike flu, carbon monoxide poisoning doesn't cause a high temperature (fever)."

To protect your loved ones, it is imperative that you install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home. This article tells you how. Steps1 Choose your location. It is recommended by firefighters that you mount smoke detectors high on the wall, or on the ceiling away from windows and exterior doors. ( This is not the case for carbon monoxide alarms, about which, see #2, below.) Smoke fills up a room from the ceiling down, so having the detectors high should alert you early on. It is also recommended that detectors be placed at least 10 centimeter (3.9 in) / 4\"\" from the wall when installed on the ceiling, and 10 centimeter (3.9 in) / 4\"\" from the ceiling for wall installation.2 The diffusion of carbon monoxide in air is relatively even, meaning that a source of carbon monoxide can distribute the gas evenly throughout the room and house. When installing a carbon monoxide alarm, choose a location where the alarm will stay clean, and out of the way of children or pets.3 Place smoke detectors in the best places around the house."

Carbon monoxide is produced when fossil fuels like wood, coal, charcoal, gasoline, kerosene, natural gas, or oil burn. Because of the way that your body reacts to carbon monoxide, it is a deadly gas that must be avoided to prevent poisoning. What causes carbon monoxide and what are some common sources of carbon monoxide? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a by-product of incomplete combustion. Common causes of carbon monoxide production can be gas or oil appliances like a furnace, clothes dryer, range, oven, water heater, or space heaters that are not working properly. When appliances and vents work properly, and there is enough fresh air in your home to allow for complete combustion. In these typical conditions, trace amounts of CO produced by these sources are typically not dangerous. However, there are common conditions that can cause CO levels to rise quickly: Appliance malfunction, i.e. the heat exchanger on your furnace cracks."

I hope I can paint a helpful picture for you today so you have a better idea what to do. When are CO detectors required? First off, as of July 1, 2011, it became state law in California for carbon monoxide detectors to be installed. CO detectors are only required for houses that have either an attached garage, fireplace or gas heater or appliance. Technically, if a house ran on electric only, had no fireplace and a detached garage, it does not need a carbon monoxide detector. Where should carbon monoxide detectors be placed? They should be installed specifically outside of each sleeping area in a house (there could be multiple areas), on each level of the house and in the basement also. You may only need one carbon monoxide detector in your house, but you could need several detectors depending on the layout of your home."

Chronic CO poisoning usually involves lower levels of the gas in the air and lower blood CO (COHb) concentrations. Exposure usually continues for many days to months. The boundary limit between acute and chronic exposure is indistinct. The word chronic should be reserved to describe the type of exposure, not the subsequent condition or effect! A damaging effect of CO poisoning, or in fact, any change which persists, should be referred to as a residual effect. Chronic CO poisoning may not elicit the typical symptoms of (acute) CO poisoning such as headache, nausea, weakness, dizziness, etc. Mucous membranes of the body will almost never be cherry pink. Chronic CO poisoning is often misdiagnosed as chronic fatigue syndrome, a viral or bacterial pulmonary or gastrointestinal infection, a “run-down” condition, immune deficiency, etc. Patients may occasionally present with polycythemia, increased hematocrit, etc."

Represented by the symbol C, carbon is the single most important element to the existence of life as we know it. Carbon is present in every living thing on Earth and is the second most abundant element found in humans. Carbon possesses a number of special chemical and physical properties that make it unusually suitable for the formation of complex compounds necessary for life. Structure A stable carbon atom possesses six protons, six neutrons and six electrons, resulting in an atomic mass of 12.011 and the sixth position on the Periodic Table of the Elements. Four of the electrons are found in the outer shell of the atom while the other two are located in the inner shell. Solid-state molecules consisting of only bonded carbon atoms are arranged in a tetrahedral or hexagonal shape, depending on the physical form of the substance. Chemical Properties Carbon burns in oxygen to create carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Carbon can also form carbides when heated with oxides; for example, calcium oxide heated with carbon forms calcium carbide and carbon monoxide. In addition, carbon compounds such as carbon monoxide act as a reducing agent to metallic oxides."

By Jim Lucas, Live Science Contributor | February 29, 2016 11:14pm ETMOREElectrical transmission towers support wires that carry electricity from power plants to homes. Credit: long8614 | Shutterstock.com Electric current is electric charge in motion. It can take the form of a sudden discharge of static electricity, such as a lightning bolt or a spark between your finger and a ground light switch plate. More commonly, though, when we speak of electric current, we mean the more controlled form of electricity from generators, batteries, solar cells or fuel cells. Most electric charge is carried by the electrons and protons within an atom. Protons have positive charge, while electrons have negative charge. However, protons are mostly immobilized inside atomic nuclei, so the job of carrying charge from one place to another is handled by electrons. Electrons in a conducting material such as a metal are largely free to move from one atom to another along their conduction bands, which are the highest electron orbits. A sufficient electromotive force (emf), or voltage, produces a charge imbalance that can cause electrons to move through a conductor as an electric current, according to Serif Uran, a professor of physics at Pittsburg State University."

We could say that creating superconductive materials, along with developing thermonuclear energy is the dream and the philosopher’s stone of the 21st century. Success in this venture would eliminate the necessity to “pay” for using this most convenient type of energy, because it would prevent large energy losses during energy generation, conversion, and transportation that we have to deal with today. An indirect benefit of studying superconductors would be the reduction of our carbon footprint and pollution caused by burning fossil fuels, and the impact on the environment in general. Besides, using superconductors in the industry and in transportation would revolutionize technology, with benefits for the entire human population. If we use superconductors, we can reduce the size while simultaneously increasing the power of all electrical devices and mechanisms such as generators, transformers, and motors. In addition, using superconductive electromagnets would help us solve the problem of thermonuclear energy synthesis. If we could do that, we would be able to make high speed trains that travel much faster than the trains we currently have. As you can see, the interest of researchers and engineers across the globe in superconductivity is obvious."

Most of us are familiar with magnetic fields. Small magnets are surrounded with an invisible \"\"field\"\" which pulls upon iron, and which can attract or repel other magnets. The magnetic field can twist any oblong magnetic objects (such as iron rods, or bits of iron powder,) so they align to follow particular directions. Put a bar magnet under a piece of paper, sprinkle on some iron filings, and the filings all line up and show the general shape of the invisible field. Obtain a small compass, and you'll see the little compass pointer twists and aligns with the magnetic field of the earth."

"text": "Tesla Motors: How it All Began Tesla Motors: The Beginning TMAn energy engineer by the name of JB Straubel had an interest in electric vehicles too, and while in college had designed a Hybrid Trailer System. Earlier, at the age of 14, he discovered a junked electric golf cart in a Wisconsin junkyard and decided to rebuild it, sparking his interest for energy technology and electric vehicles. He acquired a B. S. in Energy Systems Engineering and an M. S. in Energy Engineering with an emphasis on energy conversion from Stanford University. After college, he went to work for Rosen Motors as a propulsion engineer. Rosen Motors was founded in 1990 by Harold Rosen, an electrical engineer, and his brother, Benjamin Rosen. They developed a gas turbine powered hybrid powertrain with an energy storage subsystem that even used regenerative braking. Later Harold Rosen and JB Straub together founded Volacom, an aerospace firm that designed a high-altitude aircraft that used hybrid electric propulsion invented by Straub. In 2000 Straubel had converted a Porsche 944 to an electric vehicle and held a 1/4 mile word record at 17.28 seconds at 79.4 mph. During their lunch meeting, Straubel mentioned a company called AC propulsion that had developed a prototype electric sports car using a gasoline-powered kit car. Instead, it used lithium-ion batteries and had a range of 250 miles."

"text": "\"Magnetic and Electric Fields Magnetic and electric fields exist nearly everywhere, and the following is a brief description of what these fields are, how they are created, and what effects they produce. The concept of an \"\"electric field\"\" arose when electrons were observed to repel other electrons but attract protons. This attraction-repulsion was actually seen before the discovery of electrons or protons; early measurements studied the forces on objects that happened to acquire an excess or deficiency of electrons after being rubbed with cloth or fur. If two electrons are separated by one centimeter, each electron will experience a repulsive force of 2.3 x 10 -24 gram-equivalents. Doubling the separation will reduce the force to one quarter. Doubling the number of electrons on one side will double the repulsive force acting on the lone electron on the other side. Most matter is neutral, so it contains an equal number of protons and electrons . However, sometimes electrons are deliberately or accidentally removed from one object, and deposited onto another object. If a proton (or other positive-charged body) is placed near these two charged objects, the proton will be attracted to the negative object, which has excess electrons, and simultaneously repelled from the positive one, which is missing some electrons. The total force acting on the proton is a measure of the electric field that the proton is exposed to."

"text": "\"Transformers (electrical)How do transformers work?30 Answers Sourav Bhattacharya, Electrical Engineer Answered Sep 11, 2014Originally Answered: How does a transformer work? A transformer is based on a very simple fact about electricity: electromagnetic induction. When an electric current flows through a wire, it generates a magnetic field or magnetic flux all around it. A magnetic field may be considered as being the medium by which forces are transmitted between magnetized materials. In everyday life, magnetic fields are most often encountered as an invisible force created by permanent magnets which pull on ferromagnetic materials such as iron, cobalt or nickel and attract or repel other magnets. The strength of this field is directly proportional to the value of the current. Thus a magnetic field produced in this way may be turned on and off, reversed, and varied in strength very simply. The magnetic field can be visualized as lines of magnetic flux that form closed paths. The figure below represents a magnetic field (flux lines) created around a wire that carries current. Now there's another interesting fact about electricity too."

Wrapping the wire around an iron core greatly increases the strength of the magnetic field. Questions you may have include: How can you make an electromagnet? What factors are involved in electromagnetism? How does an iron core affect the strength?

According to the electronic band theory \"\" a charge flows if states are available into which electrons can be excited. This allows electrons to gain energy and thereby move through a conductor such as a metal. If no such states are available, the material is an insulator.\"\" Most insulators have a large band gap. This occurs because the \"\"valence\"\" band containing the highest energy electrons is full, and a large energy gap separates this band from the next band above it. There is always some voltage (called the breakdown voltage) that gives electrons enough energy to be excited into this band. Once this voltage is exceeded the material ceases being an insulator, and charge begins to pass through it."

"text": "What is Alternating Current (AC)? Chapter 1 - Basic AC Theory Most students of electricity begin their study with what is known as direct current (DC), which is electricity flowing in a constant direction, and/or possessing a voltage with constant polarity. DC is the kind of electricity made by a battery (with definite positive and negative terminals), or the kind of charge generated by rubbing certain types of materials against each other. As useful and as easy to understand as DC is, it is not the only “kind” of electricity in use. Certain sources of electricity (most notably, rotary electro-mechanical generators) naturally produce voltages alternating in polarity, reversing positive and negative over time. Either as a voltage switching polarity or as a current switching direction back and forth, this “kind” of electricity is known as Alternating Current (AC): Figure below Direct vs alternating current Whereas the familiar battery symbol is used as a generic symbol for any DC voltage source, the circle with the wavy line inside is the generic symbol for any AC voltage source. One might wonder why anyone would bother with such a thing as AC. It is true that in some cases AC holds no practical advantage over DC. In applications where electricity is used to dissipate energy in the form of heat, the polarity or direction of current is irrelevant, so long as there is enough voltage and current to the load to produce the desired heat (power dissipation). However, with AC it is possible to build electric generators, motors and power distribution systems that are far more efficient than DC, and so we find AC used predominately across the world in high power applications."

Protons and electrons attract each other, the archetype of the cliché \"\"opposites attract,\"\" according to the University of Georgia’s website, Hyper Physics. Conversely, two protons repel each other, as do two electrons. Protons and electrons create electric field s, which exert a force called the Coulomb force, which radiates outward in all directions. According to Serif Uran, a professor of physics at Pittsburg State University, the electric field radiates outward from a charged particle similarly to how light radiates outward from a light bulb. Just as with the brightness of the light, the strength of the electric field decreases as the square of the distance from the source (1/ r 2 )."

But since the forces are smaller, as compared to the moon, the effects are greatly decreased. Tides are not caused by the direct pull of the moon's gravity. The moon is pulling upwards on the water while the earth is pulling downward. Slight advantage to the moon and thus we have tides. Whenever the Moon, Earth and Sun are aligned, the gravitational pull of the sun adds to that of the moon causing maximum tides.

Answer by John Ellis Hartford Confidence votes 32.4KTides are the regular rise and fall of seawater levels on a daily basis. Tides are mostly caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon, which pulls on the water in the oceans as the Earth rotates. The Sun's gravity also affects the Earth's tides, and the combined effect is that coastlines generally experience one high tide (higher water level) and one low tide (lower water level), about 12 hours apart during each 24 hour period. The flow of water in currents, channels, and across varying sea depths can create a wide variety of tidal ranges and effects.

"text": "Tides A favorite time for both locals and visitors to explore the seashore is at low tide when the ocean recedes to reveal the myriad of animals and seaweeds that inhabit the sand and rocks, life that is otherwise hidden from view. Low tides leave isolated tide pools that let us discover the biological zones that cover the vertical faces of rocks, where starfish prey on mussels living just above them, and green anemones show their faces to young children who gently poke fingers into their mouths and feel the tingle of tentacles that close around them. Before heading to the shore, we often examine tide tables corrected for Tillamook County beaches, published locally by Coast Printing & Stationary, Inc. and distributed to local stores and other outlets. Here we find the dates, times, and levels of tides. Most of us take these tables on faith with only a little understanding of the processes behind them. Where do all these times and values come from and what do they really mean? We will try to provide some answers. Reproduced here are tide tables for June 2005 and December 2005. We can see from the these pages that there are usually two high tides and two low tides each day, A. M. and P. M., and that there is a higher high and a lower high and a higher low and a lower low, a phenomenon called “mixed tides.” The favored minus tides (those below the mean of lower low water which is designated as the “zero level”) are highlighted in red."

The following pages describe the tremendous forces that cause the world’s tides, and why it is important for us to understand how they work. Basically, tides are very long-period waves that move through the oceans in response to the forces exerted by the moon and sun. Tides originate in the oceans and progress toward the coastlines where they appear as the regular rise and fall of the sea surface. When the highest part, or crest of the wave reaches a particular location, high tide occurs; low tide corresponds to the lowest part of the wave, or its trough. The difference in height between the high tide and the low tide is called the tidal range."

Here the water from the river slows considerably and the silt it is carrying begins to fall away. Historical Roots What is a river delta and how did it get its name? The Greek historian Herodotus first used the term “delta\"\" for the unique triangular area at the mouth of the Nile River. He likened the triangular shape of the silt deposits to the Greek letter Delta and the name stuck. How a Delta Is Formed A river delta forms when the fast moving river water enters a larger, slower moving body of water. As the current slows, it is unable to keep pulling the silt that it is carrying down the river any further. The silt starts to drop away. Because the water coming down the river spreads out equally in all directions, a fan shape forms at the mouth of the river. This fan shape (similar to a triangle) builds up as more and more sediment is deposited."

A: Quick Answer Tides are formed by a combination of gravitational attraction from the moon and the sun, as well as the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the Earth. The position of both celestial bodies affects the surface height of the tides as water is gravitationally pulled upwards relative to their positions. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is the Purpose of the Moon? How Do the Tides Work? What Causes Neap Tides? Full Answer Although the moon is smaller than the sun, its nearness to Earth means its gravity has twice the effect on tides. Portions of the ocean are pulled together, creating high water regions when the moon and sun exerts its effects. Due to the constant mass of the oceans on Earth, this effect creates areas where the water levels become much lower. The movement of tides and the oceans' surface largely follows the orbital plane of the moon."

Saltwater Fishing Conservation & Ethics Special Note Return to Sea Science Features and Locations of Salt Marshes Salt marshes occur along much of the Southeastern coast where the twice-daily tides alternately flood and drain vast low-lying areas just inland from the ocean. South Carolina has about a half-million acres of salt marsh, more marsh than any other Atlantic coast state. Marshes provide highly productive nursery grounds for numerous commercially and recreationally important species, and serve as filters to remove sediments and toxins from the water. Marshes also buffer the mainland by slowing and absorbing storm surges, thereby reducing erosion of the coastline The twice-daily ebb and flow of the tides greatly influence life in the salt marsh. Variation in flooding and elevation divides the marsh into two zones, high marsh and low marsh. The low marsh floods daily while high marsh is flooded only during twice-monthly \"\"spring\"\" tides and during storms. Salinity in the marsh varies widely from very salty to virtually fresh depending on the height of the tide and on runoff from rainfall. This rapid and regular transition from wet to dry, salty to fresh water, cold to hot greatly limits the types of plants and animals that can survive in salt marshes. However, the rich soil and abundant sunlight make salt marshes very productive, allowing those animals and plants adapted to the marsh to develop extensive populations."

"text": "Tides in the Mediterranean By Jenny Cruse Powerboating France All about tides in the Mediterranean Why is there virtually no tidal range (the difference in height of water between low and high tide) in the Mediterranean? Tides are created by the gravitational pull of both the moon and sun, the moon having the greater influence. When the sun and moon are in alignment roughly just after the full and new moon, then there is the greatest influence on the oceans. These are called ‘spring’ tides and subsequently have the greatest height range between high and low tide. When the sun and moon are in a right angled position to the earth then we have ‘neap’ tides which have the smallest range between high and low tide. There are two high and two low tides in a day and two spring and neap tides in a month. Additionally the tide flow does not move evenly in and out this is called the ‘rule of twelfths’ Approximately, tides move in and out with a bulge of maximum flow at mid tide and minimum flow (slack) one hour before and after high and low tides. The reason there is such a small tidal range in the Mediterranean for is that the Med is like a giant land locked lake, with just the straits of Gibraltar to offer access to the ocean. Therefore this land locked sea is not so readily influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. We are based in the Marines des Cogolin where the maximum tide range is 0 .5 metre."

( Not to scale. ) While both the Moon and the Sun influence the ocean tides, the Moon plays the biggest role because it is so much closer to our planet than the Sun. In fact, the tidal effect of the Moon on Earth is more than twice as strong as that of the Sun, even though the Sun's gravitational pull on Earth is around 178 times stronger than that of the Moon. Oceans Are Pulled Up The gravitational force of the Moon and the Sun pulls the water in the oceans upwards making the oceans bulge, which creates high tide in the areas of Earth facing the Moon and on the opposite side. ( See illustration. ) At the same time, in the remaining areas of the planet, the ocean water drains away to fill these bulges, creating low tides. High and Low Nearly Twice a Day Tides are one of the most reliable phenomena in the world, and we know that they move in and out around twice a day, but not exactly. So, why is that?"

NO! a solar eclipse does not occur every new moon phase, because the Moon's orbit is tilted slightly compared to Earth's as a result, during most new moon phases, the Earth is either above or below the Moon's shadowwhen the entire Moon moves through Earth's umbra, a total lunar eclipse is occuringunlike a total solar eclipse, a total lunar eclipse can be seen anywhere on Earth (at night) a tide is the daily rise and fall of sea level spring tide neap tide it is primarily the Moon's gravity that causes Earth's oceans to rise and fall twice each day the gravitational differences cause tidal bulges in the oceans on opposite sides of Earth the Moon's gravity is slightly stronger on the side of Earth closer to the Moon and slightly weaker on the side of Earth opposite the Moon high tides occur at the tidal bulges and low tides occur between them because the Sun is so far away from Earth, its effect on the tides is about half that of the Moon occurs during the full moon and new moon phases when the Sun's and the Moon's gravitational effects combine this produces higher high tides, and lower low tides occurs during first and third quarter, one week after the spring tide when the Sun and the Moon form a right angle with Earth, reducing their effect this produces lower high tides, and higher low tides The Bay Fundy The Tides at Hopewell Rock are the tides always the same? what if the Moon is in different positions relative to Earth?"

Although they may seem somewhat similar, there are distinct differences that put each machine in a class of its own. Whether you are suffering from a respiratory condition, live in an extremely dry climate or simply want to enhance your ability to breathe, you may want to read up on the basic differences between vaporizers and humidifiers. Facts About Humidifiers Cool mist humidifiers add moisture or humidity to the air and are often used by people who live in dry climates or who are suffering from flu and cold symptoms. These moisturizing machines are a great appliance that can help to alleviate sinus headaches, sneezing, dry skin and coughing, and are especially helpful when used during the cold and dry winter months. Humidifiers can also bring much-needed relief to children who are suffering from frequent bloody noses caused by dry mucous membranes. How Do They Work? Humidifiers produce water vapor using a disk that rapidly turns while submerged in water. Vapor Temperatures: Cold vapors are emitted, so there are no burn risks associated with humidifiers. This makes humidifiers perfect for children’s’ rooms; however, it is crucial to speak to your pediatrician before using a humidifier around your child."

"text": "How to Care for Orchids: Humidity 101Humidity: How Much Does Your Orchid Need? In addition to water and light, when it comes to care for your orchids – humidity is the most important element to keeping your orchid in bloom – and getting it to bloom repeatedly, year after year. Orchids tend to prefer more humidity than most of other plants you keep inside your home. To help your orchids thrive, it is crucial that you provide the required amount of humidity, which is nothing more than the amount of water vapor that is circulating in the air. It is important that you learn how to care for orchids because if you don’t provide the correct amount of humidity, this could result in your orchid’s growth being stunted or could lead to the orchid perishing. Humid vs. Dry Climates If you live in an area that naturally has a high amount of humidity, you may not need to add more humidity inside of your home, however, if you live in a drier climate then you will need to take the initiative to increase the humidity level around your orchid’s growing area. One way to measure the amount of humidity in your orchid’s environment is to use a hygrometer. This device can be ordered online or picked up at any home improvement store. If you are worried that your orchids may not be getting enough humidity, there are a few quick and easy fixes to introduce more humidity to your orchid’s immediate environment and fix that problem.3 Simple Humidity Methods1: Using a Humidity Tray One popular way to increase the amount of humidity around your orchid is set up a humidity tray. Humidity trays can be ordered online or found in orchid specialty stores."

"text": "Who are the Inhumans? By Trevor Van As on November 18, 2014. Last Updated on November 30, 2014. With the announcement of an Inhumans movie as part of Marvel Studio’s Phase 3 you might be thinking “who are the Inhumans?” While they have been around since the 60s, they have floated under the radar – gaining a cult following. If you can’t wait until 2018 to discover who the Inhumans are and what they are all about this article is for you. I’ll go into a bit about their backstory, where they live, the prominent characters and even some reading recommendations. A Brief History of the Inhumans Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Inhumans first appeared in Fantastic Four #45 in 1965. They are a strain of humans that were genetically altered and experimented on by aliens millions of years ago. Due to their differences to regular humans they formed their own society in the hidden city of Attlian, until they were discovered by accident by the Fantastic Four."

Another random trip to the Vitamin Shoppe store to replace my liquid cod liver oil and, next thing you know, I'm walking to the counter with a handful of items that just know will change my life forever. One such item is my liquid MSM. Liquid MSM, in essence, is basically just MSM that has been dissolved in water for easy use. It's a long story but I actually did not initially purchase this product strictly for hair related reasons. But now that it's found a new home with me, I plan on using this amazing product to the fullest and I'd like to share my intentions with you. So here we go..... \"\" I'm using it as an eye treatment \"\" Yes, the real reason why I decided to even buy the liquid MSM was to use as an all natural eye drop solution. It all started when I was seeking out a natural treatment for my dry, red eyes. For a while now, I've been dealing with the issue of eye strain stemming from years of staring at a computer screen. My Google search eventually led me to two options."

I was thrilled to be sent the Perfect Pearls Mists by Ranger to test drive. Lets start with what the website has to say about this product: The palette of Perfect Pearls Powders is now available in a fine mist spray! Perfect Pearls Mists expand your paper crafting possibilities—spray a little for a subtle look or a lot for more intense shimmer. Developed with a built-in binder in a clear water-based formula, Perfect Pearls Mists adhere to paper, wood, fabric, and more. Use for background papers, with stamps, stencils, masks or as a finishing touch on a handmade card or scrapbook layout. I started with a collection of paper swatches. I kept one plain, sprayed one with the mist in turquoise and another with the mist in interference red. Before spraying the product does require a lot of shaking."

We continue to recommend Surebond polymeric sand. Any questions? Feel free to leave us a comment with any pictures below. Every interlocking brick paver system involves the use of joint sand. This joint sand helps to reduce paver movement by bonding the system together. It is also a vital part of prohibiting weed growth, insect infestation, and sand washout. The proper type of sand needs to be used for the best results. Polymeric sand is highly recommended because once it is applied to the joints, it reacts with misted water and creates a binding agent that helps solidify the sand and locks the pavers together. The best polymeric sand to use is a brand like Surebond."

What are Traps and Filters?+ Traps Trapping and Filtering Backstreaming+ System Traps Trapping with LN 2+ Filters Pump Exhausts In general, a trap is a device that captures gases and vapors, while a filter captures particles, chemical \"\"smokes\"\", and aerosols. These distinctions imply the devices work under different pressure ranges, loosely defined as: traps operate best at 10 -3 torr or lower and filters operate best at 10 -2 torr or higher (see sidebar, Trapping and Filtering). Traps are placed in two positions: Between the high-vacuum pump and the mechanical pump—foreline trap In or near the chamber—system trap Filters are positioned: Ahead of the rough pump—foreline filter At the rough pump's exhaust port—oil mist eliminator When the application demands, multiple stages of filtering and/or trapping may be housed inside the same container. Trapping and Filtering The distinction in operating pressure ranges between traps or filters is apparent from any consideration of their operating characteristics. Traps have no direct line-of-sight between inlet and outlet. In molecular flow, gas phase collisions are non-existent, meaning every molecule/atom in the gas flowing through the trap moves in a straight line (without any diverting gas phase collisions) and must hit at least one surface to traverse the trap. If a molecule is absorbed by, or freezes on, the surface, then it is successfully trapped. That is, traps work in molecular flow conditions. Filters also have no (or limited) line-of-sight between inlet and outlet."

We’re glad you specified the direction of your ridges — it turns out that matters. Vertical lines on one’s nails, like those the writer seems to have, are a common phenomenon that often get more pronounced with age. “There are many reasons for ridged nails but the most common is aging,” says Dr. Phoebe Rich, M. D., FAAD, clinical adjunct professor of dermatology at Oregon Health Science University. “ As we age the nail matrix becomes atrophied in areas resulting in longitudinal ridging of nails.

"text": "Parts of the Nail and Pictures – Human Finger and Toe Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet The human nail is a plate of keratin that lies on the tips of the fingers and toes. The main purpose of the nails are to protect the fingers and toes, however, the fingernail also assists with certain physical activities in daily life. The human nail is constantly growing and being removed by clipping or biting. In childhood, it takes the nail about 3 months to grow out completely while this may take up to 6 months in the elderly. Like any part or organ of the human body, the condition of the fingernails and toenails are dependent on the general health status. Therefore changes and defects in the nails may be indicative of certain systemic diseases. While the word ‘nail’ is used to describe the nail bed, the entire human nail involves many other parts, some of which are not visible from the exterior. Parts of the Nail Nail Matrix The matrix is the source of the cells that become the keratinized layers of the nail plate. It is located deep in the nail sinus. As new cells grow, it pushes out the nail plate replacing it with new keratin at the proximal part of the nail plate that lies adjacent to the matrix."

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Dermatology Paronychia Updated: Sep 11, 2017Author: Elizabeth M Billingsley, MD; Chief Editor: William D James, MD more... Print Practice Essentials Paronychia is a soft tissue infection around a fingernail that begins as cellulitis but that may progress to a definite abscess. [ 1] The 2 types of paronychia are as follows [ 2]: Acute paronychia - Painful and purulent condition; most frequently caused by staphylococci Chronic paronychia - Usually caused by a fungal infection The image below depicts paronychia. Classic presentation of paronychia, with erythema and pus surrounding the nail bed. In this case, the paronychia was due to infection after a hangnail was removed. View Media Gallery Signs and symptoms Physical findings in acute paronychia include the following: The affected area often appears erythematous and swollen In more advanced cases, pus may collect under the skin of the lateral fold If untreated, the infection can extend into the eponychium, in which case it is called eponychia Further extension of the infection can lead to the involvement of both lateral folds as it tracks under the nail sulcus; this progression is called a runaround infection Physical findings in chronic paronychia include the following: Swollen, erythematous, and tender nail folds without fluctuance are characteristic of chronic paronychia Eventually, the nail plates become thickened and discolored, with pronounced transverse ridges The cuticles and nail folds may separate from the nail plate, forming a space for the invasion of various microorganisms See Clinical Presentation for more detail. Diagnosis The diagnosis of paronychia is based primarily on patient history and physical examination. Some laboratory studies, however, can be useful. These include the following: Gram staining and/or culture - To help identify a bacterial cause of fluctuant paronychia Potassium hydroxide (KOH) 5% smears - To help diagnose paronychia caused by a candidal infection Tzanck smears - If herpetic whitlow is suspected See Workup for more detail. Management Treatment strategies for paronychia include the following: If soft tissue swelling is present without fluctuance, the infection may resolve with warm soaks 3-4 times daily [ 1, 3, 4]Patients with extensive surrounding cellulitis or with a history of diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, or an immunocompromised state may benefit from a short course of antibiotics [ 5, 6]If an abscess has developed, incision and drainage must be performed See Treatment and Medication for more detail.

Horizontal nail ridges are often a sign of serious problems, such as vitamin or mineral deficiencies, or some types of illnesses. Read on to find the possible indications and how to get your beautiful nails back. Causes of Horizontal Ridges in Nails Also known as Beau's lines, horizontal ridges in your nails are often signs of a problem lurking in your body. What they are showing depends upon your overall health. Here are some of the most common issues.1. Injury, Biting or Chemicals Sometimes an injury to the nail or finger can cause the lines, such as crushing the nail—imagine hitting your nail with a hammer, for instance. Sometimes runners will see their toenails rub against their shoe, thus leading to horizontal lines. The same manner can apply to the habit of biting nails."

Why Do People Instinctively Curl Over Their Abdominal Area in Times of Danger? Credit: Paul Wilkinson CC-BY-2.0Full Answer Curling toenails can result in painful ingrown toenails, which can prevent a person from doing daily activities, such as walking normally. These cases should be treated by a doctor, who can also suggest ways to prevent ingrown toenails from reoccurring. Ingrown toenails can penetrate the skin and allow harmful bacteria inside to grow and cause infections. If this happens, the edge of the toenail needs to be removed, or the wound may not heal."

Luo, MDTypes and causes Other causes and symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Prevention Takeaway Many different health conditions can cause changes in the nails and nail bed, including shaping ridges in the nails. Vertical ridges in the fingernails are most common and are usually harmless. There are times when ridges in the fingernails could be a sign of an underlying condition, especially if the ridges are horizontal. A thorough diagnosis can help people and their doctors decide on a proper treatment plan in each case. Fast facts on fingernail ridges: The fingernails are made of a protein called keratin, which is also found in the skin and hair. Aging is the most common cause of fingernail ridges. Other conditions can cause symptoms, which appear very similar to ridges. Diagnosing the cause of fingernail ridges is key to discovering what treatment options are best. Types and causes Ridges on the fingernails may be vertical or horizontal. Usually, the cause is aging."

When nails are brittle, the structure is faulty, which results in nails that split, break or peel off. Generally, nails that are brittle will break at the tip of the nail and can peel off horizontally. Brittle nails sometimes split lengthwise across the nail surface. Weak Nails A calcium deficiency can lead to weakened nails. Nails that are weak often grow much slower than a healthy nail. They are very thin and are prone to excess peeling and splitting."

S. alone) can attest to that. 1 Yet, your nails are far more than a platform for bright colors and nail art. The shape, texture, and color of your natural nails act as a window into your body, and while some nail symptoms are harmless, others can be indicative of chronic diseases, including cancer. As noted by the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD): 2\"\" Nails often reflect our general state of health. Changes in the nail, such as discoloration or thickening, can signal health problems including liver and kidney diseases, heart and lung conditions, anemia, and diabetes. \"\" Even the growth rate of your nails may give clues about your underlying health. Healthy nails grow, on average 3.5 millimeters (mm) a month, but this is influenced by your nutritional status, medications, trauma, chronic disease, and the aging process itself. 3If you notice any significant changes in your nails, including swelling, discolorations, or changes in shape or thickness, see a dermatologist right away.

"text": "Have you considered biologics for your severe psoriasis? Nail Trauma Health Guide More What Is It? A fingernail or toenail can be injured by a blow to the nail or by closing the finger or toe in a door or drawer. This kind of trauma commonly results in blood under the nail, a condition called subungual hematoma. Nails also can be accidentally torn or split, or a splinter can get under the nail. Repeated trauma to toenails, caused by ill-fitting shoes, can lead to deformities in the nails. The deformities may resemble a fungal infection; nails can be thickened or discolored and can lift away from the nail bed, which causes cosmetic concerns. Habits such as nail biting and cuticle biting also can cause trauma to the nails. Nail biting is a main cause of acute paronychia, a type of infection in which bacteria get underneath the tissue at the side of the nail and cause swelling and irritation. Repetitive picking at your thumb's nail and cuticle with your index finger can produce a line of horizontal hatch marks in the middle of the nail."

Will they go away? “ Usually toenail ridges are associated with the natural process of aging and are not a cause for concern,” says Dr. Nadia Levy of The Center for Podiatric Care and Sports Medicine in New York. “ However, you should definitely stop in and see me if your nail color or texture changes, if the nails begin growing unusually fast or slow, and if the ridges appear unevenly spaced or sized.” In today’s post, we’ll delve into more detail about the dreaded toenail ridges.

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load About Toenails A protein called keratin makes up your skin and hair, explains the AAD. Your toenails grow because living cells under your cuticle continue to replicate. As they do, older, dead cells are pushed forward to form hard shells–nails–that protect the tips of your fingers and toes. Your toenails grow more slowly than your fingernails, at a rate of 1 millimeter a month, compared to 2 to 3 millimeters, says the AAD. As you age, the rate at which your nails grow slows, says the National Institutes of Health.

The spark plug is one of the least expensive components on your golf cart to change, yet also one of the most overlooked. If your gas golf cart is running poorly, always be sure to check that you have fuel, that your air filter is not clogged and that you have a spark at the plug. Your spark plug is the last component in your ignition system prior to internal combustion occurring within the golf cart's engine. The points/condenser on older carts or the pulser coil on newer carts picks up a signal from the flywheel. It sends this signal to the igniter, which amplifies it and passes it along to the ignition coil. The signal then travels down the spark plug lead and causes electricity to jump from the center and ground electrodes on the end of the plug. It is this spark of electricity that will ultimately ignite the fuel and air mixture in your golf cart's engine to make it run.

Fortunately, there are a number of ways to make them last longer. It's particularly important to maintain and charge your batteries properly. Chargers Overcharging your golf cart batteries may damage them. It is best to use an automatic charger that turns itself off when a battery is fully charged. Some older models lack this important feature. If you must use a manual charger, don't forget to turn it off. You can set an alarm clock or timer to remind you when the battery is ready."

Some of the problem areas you can visually check & lubricate or repair as needed but over time, especially with severe use & little maintenance the parts just start wearing out. Rebuilding drive clutches used to be a common practice but the time & parts invested and the poor serviceability after all the effort proved to be unacceptable. Driven units are more commonly rebuilt depending on the brand of golf cart and the failure. This doesn't mean you cannot extend the life of the clutch system you now have. Don't blame the clutch system for engine problems (garbage in, garbage out) and don't overlook their effect on a smooth ride. The clutches should gradually transition, or ‘shift gears', during start up and acceleration, remain steady while cruising at top speed and smoothly downshift when beginning a hill climb or coming to a stop.

"text": "Solar Power 101: Batteries Part 1By Jeffrey Yago, P. E., CEMIssue #87 • May/June, 2004This article is the first in a series of what will be a beginner’s course in solar electricty. Simultaneously we have instituted a Home Energy Information (www.homeenergy.info) section on our website where you can ask questions of Jeff Yago, the author of this series. Yago is a licensed professional engineer and certified energy manager who has writtten many energy articles for BHM. He has extensive solar thermal and solar photovoltaic system design experience, and is author of Achieving Energy Independence — One Step At A Time, which includes many solar system wiring examples. Those interested in solar electricity will want to save these articles for future review when planning your solar system. I am getting numerous requests from readers wanting very specific guidance on how to install their own solar electric systems. Many have already found that this process is a little like trying to build an automobile by purchasing parts from a NAPA dealer. For example, you can buy a brake drum, wheel bearing, and oil filter, but since your car does not yet exist, how do you know what parts you need, what parts will fit with other parts, and how should these parts be wired together. During the next few issues, I will take you through the “basics” of solar system design and installation, and answer your specific questions as we go along. This course will continue on the Backwoods Home Magazine website (www.backwoodshome.com) under their new Home Energy Information (www.homeenergy.info) section."

"text": "Vehicles Q: What Is the Oil-to-Gas Ratio for an E-Z-GO 2-Cycle Golf Cart? A: Quick Answer The proper ratio of oil to gas for an E-Z-GO 2-cycle golf cart is 1 gallon of gas to 1 ounce of oil. This is defined numerically as the ratio 128:1. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Do You Make an E-Z-GO Golf Cart Go Faster? How Do You Troubleshoot an E-Z-GO Golf Cart for Wiring Problems? How Long Does It Take to Fully Charge an E-Z-Go Golf Cart? Full Answer The E-Z-GO company officially stopped producing its 2-cycle golf carts in 1991, when the 4-cylinder carts were introduced. However, for a few years, these engines were produced in limited availability in some golf carts and utility vehicles. One of the easiest ways to determine if an engine is a 2- or 4-cycle is by the number of spark plugs. One spark plug defines a 2-cycle engine, while a 4-cycle engine has four spark plugs."

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides e Bay Motors Cars & Trucks What’s the Lifespan of an Electric Car Battery?e Bay 4.8K Views Like Share June 9, 2014Although they seem to many people to be a new thing, electric cars have been around for a very long time. In fact, prior to the refinement of the internal combustion engine, electric cars were as prevalent as gas powered vehicles, and even favored by some. As far back as 1897, the Electric Carriage and Wagon Company of Philadelphia produced taxicabs for use in New York and other growing areas, because of their reliability, reasonable speed, low vibration, low noise, and lack of noxious fumes. Early electric cars were eventually replaced by internal combustion engine powered vehicles because of the ready availability of fossil fuels and the lack of knowledge about environmental concerns. However, as the 20th century drew to a close, environmental awareness drove production of electric vehicles once again. The vehicles remain quite pricy and the large rechargeable batteries that power these vehicles make up most of that expense, so knowing how long the average battery will last is a point of consideration for prospective electric car owners. The Electric Car Battery Electric car batteries, also called traction batteries, can be the primary or secondary propulsion mode of a vehicle. For hybrid vehicles that use both gasoline and electric for propulsion, the battery is generally the primary power source, with gasoline power used when the battery is low, or road conditions dictate the need for additional power. For totally electric vehicles, the battery is the primary and only source of propulsion for the vehicle. Besides passenger cars, these batteries are found in industrial forklifts, golf carts, and even zambonis."

Likewise determining the fair market value of your golf cart when selling can mean the difference of several hundreds of dollars. Used Electric Golf Cart Prices Unlike a car, the age of the golf cart is not as important. With a lot less moving parts, what is important is how well the golf cart has been maintained.

"text": "New Georgia Law Requires Safety Features on Golf Carts By Dorie Turner and Kate Brumback | December 29, 2011Email This Subscribe to Newsletter Email to a friend Facebook Tweet Linked In Print Article Article 6 Comments Golf cart owners in Georgia will soon have stricter requirements to follow if they plan to drive their carts on roadways. A new law taking effect Jan. 1 creates a separate classification of personal transportation vehicles for golf carts. It also sets standards for towns and counties wanting to create ordinances allowing drivers to use the carts on residential streets and multi-purpose pathways. The law requires that golf carts have braking systems, a reverse warning device, tail lamps, a horn and hip restraints. The carts must weigh less than 1,375 pounds and not top speeds of 20 mph. The carts must also be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Nathan Deal this year after his predecessor, Gov. Sonny Perdue, vetoed a similar measure last year. It had backing from one of Georgia’s key industries — golf cart manufacturing. The Georgia-based International Light Transportation Vehicle Association, formerly known as the National Golf Cars Manufacturers Association — which prefers the term “car” to “cart” — estimates that 90 percent of the golf carts used in the U. S. are made in Georgia. “Safety is what we’re concerned about,” said Fred L. Somers Jr., secretary of the association. “"

At times, your golf cart may seem to have a mind of its own and will cause you problems with either a lack of power or sometimes the complete opposite–it seems to want to drive even when you don’t. A number of sticky issues may be resolved with a bit of investigation. Step 1 Troubleshoot a sticky accelerator by turning the engine on and listening for a small clicking sound. If your golf cart is running without you pushing on the accelerator, the solenoid may be sticking into an on position. The clicking noise should only occur once the accelerator is pressed. This is a common problem with E-Z-Go golf carts and can cause overheating. Have the solenoid replaced by a qualified mechanic. Step 2 Notice if you are losing power when you drive up inclines. If so, you may need to replace or tighten a battery cable connection."

"text": "Testing Golf Cart Fuel Pumps Posted on June 20, 2013 by Michael Williams Despite many modern automobiles and golf carts both having fuel pumps, their principles of operation are very different. Whereas automobiles typically use electric fuel pumps or fuel injection, golf carts on the other hand, primarily use vacuum based fuel pumps. Within our discussion here, we’ll discuss possible issues with golf cart fuel pumps, how to test for proper operation as well as replacement procedures. As mentioned, golf cart fuel pumps are primarily vacuum powered. The vacuum through which it is powered is created via crankcase pressure. This is not the same as compression, which is an indicator of the pressure limits of the top end of the engine. Crankcase pressure is the pressure present in the bottom end of the engine below the piston. As the piston (s) move up and down, this causes the crankcase pressure to vary and effectively “pulse”. This pulse is transmitted via a vacuum line from the lower end of the engine any golf cart fuel pumps. The fuel pump has several nozzles on it to accept the vacuum line, and both the Fuel In and Fuel Out lines."

Bicycle suspension is used primarily on mountain bikes, but is also common on hybrid bicycles. Bicycle suspension can be implemented in a variety of ways, and any combination thereof: Front suspension Rear suspension Suspension seatpost Suspension saddle Suspension stem (now uncommon)Suspension hub Bicycles with only front suspension are referred to as hardtail and bicycles with suspension in both the front and rear are referred to as dual or full suspension bikes. When a bicycle has no suspension it is called rigid. Bicycles with only rear suspension are uncommon although the Brompton folding bicycle is equipped with rear only suspension. Although a stiffer frame is usually preferable [ citation needed], no material is infinitely stiff and therefore any frame will exhibit some flexing. Bicycle designers intentionally make frames in such a way that the frame itself can absorb some vibrations. Besides providing comfort to the rider, suspension systems improve traction and safety by helping to keep one or both wheels in contact with the ground.

However, as all of them are interrelated and even interdependent, it’s sometimes difficult to tell them apart. In this post, I’ll analyze these elements separately to discover their functions and peculiarities. Summary Summary refers to the main events of the narrative presented in chronological order. This sequential type of organization provides the writer with a clear answer to two questions. What’s the story about? What does it tell the reader? As we’ll discuss in the next section, once those questions have been answered, the author can break the chronological order of narrative discourse and choose the one that best fits his or her story. Plot Summary and plot are the elements that most often lead to confusion as both refer to the story’s content. Anyway, there’s a fundamental difference between them."

It often makes an old vehicle feel like a brand new car again. Very few auto parts will give you such a noticeable difference from before to after the repair. Fifteen years ago, we could say that shocks are used on full-frame cars and trucks, and struts are used on unibody vehicles. Today, that is totally false. With the innovative newer suspension designs, there is not one definitive type of vehicle that struts, shocks, coil-overs, or air suspension belongs under. What's even more challenging is that coil over shocks look so much like struts that they are easily confused with each other. Luckily, 1A Auto is here to help sort it all out so that you understand what the difference between shocks and struts is, what they are exactly, the different types available, and much more!Shocks - \"\"The Basics\"\"The word \"\"shock\"\" is really the shortened version of the longer \"\"shock-absorber.\"\" As you can probably guess, a shock absorber absorbs energy.

In this lesson, you will learn about heterogeneous mixtures and the types of heterogeneous mixtures recognized by scientists. Definition of Heterogeneous Mixtures A mixture is a combination of two or more pure substances in which the original substances retain their chemical properties. In some mixtures, the initial substances cannot be detected after they have been mixed. In a heterogeneous mixture, the substances do not blend smoothly throughout, and the individual substances that compose the mixture can be detected. Heterogeneous mixtures can typically be separated back into their individual components through chemical or physical means."

The three major alignment parameters on a car are toe, camber, and caster. Most enthusiasts have a good understanding of what these settings are and what they involve, but many may not know why a particular setting is called for, or how it affects performance. Let's take a quick look at this basic aspect of suspension tuning. UNDERSTANDING TOEWhen a pair of wheels is set so that their leading edges are pointed slightly towards each other, the wheel pair is said to have toe-in. If the leading edges point away from each other, the pair is said to have toe-out. The amount of toe can be expressed in degrees as the angle to which the wheels are out of parallel, or more commonly, as the difference between the track widths as measured at the leading and trailing edges of the tires or wheels. Toe settings affect three major areas of performance: tire wear, straight-line stability and corner entry handling characteristics."

While I haven’t examined every version available, themes have carried through various makes/models, so what follows are safe generalizations. I even throw in a dyno chart!OEMs give us lots of specs to get us warm and fuzzy about a car but the majority don’t affect your everyday, commuting-to-work driving experience. How they decide to set up a suspension does. They assume an average commute-only driver just wants a comfortable car. The enthusiast will opt for an (expected) upgrade via the sport version (with infinite colorful names). And if they happen to have a hard-core race version, that is another level all-together. What might feel fun on a 5 minute test drive (and help sell the sporty version) could get annoying (or literally painful) with ownership. Even more so with a disgruntled passenger (“I told you not to get this car!”). I believe (just as I’m writing this) that car makers know they have very little time to close a sale, like a first impression."

Conversely, not everyone who buys a mountain bike want to use it for going up and down mountains either. Choice, there is lots of it The cold hard reality of modern mountain biking is that there as many bike types as there are riding disciplines. For people who are really into riding, and for whom riding is a way of life, it really isn’t uncommon for them to own 2 or 3 different types of mountain bike.

"text": "\"United States: It’s Time To Rethink The Suspension And Debarment Process Last Updated: July 3 2013 Article by Steven D. Gordon and Richard O. Duvall Holland & Knight Your Linked In Connections at Firm Steven Gordon is a Partner in our Washington D. C. office Richard Duvall is a Partner in our Northern Virginia office Federal contractors and grantees face increased risk of being suspended or debarred from federal contracts and programs, or of having to negotiate with the government in circumstances where such an exclusion might be imposed if the matter is not resolved satisfactorily. This heightened risk results from a number of factors, including new contractor self-reporting requirements imposed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation, amendments of the False Claims Act that permit more whistleblower suits, and the government's more aggressive use of suspension and debarment. And the stakes of a suspension or debarment are huge. Even a short term exclusion from participation in federal contracts or programs can be devastating; a long term exclusion frequently amounts to the ''death penalty'' for all or a part of a contractor organization. This new enforcement climate highlights some deficiencies in the current regime for suspension and debarment of government contractors. These deficiencies, in our view, foster arbitrariness, inconsistency, and unfairness. Suspension and debarment are not supposed to punish contractors or grantees for past misconduct; rather, they are intended to protect the government from future dealings with contractors or grantees that are unscrupulous, unreliable, or incompetent. It is short-sighted and counterproductive to exclude competent contractors (or grantees) who err but are willing and able to reform. Thus, the process for excluding a contractor must be fair and produce reasonable results. An unfair or arbitrary system will cause needless harm to contractors, and their employees and shareholders."

"text": "\"Loading Push-rod - pull-rod Pull-rod suspension Push-rod suspension Push-rod or pull-rod, the difference as the name suggests is the whether the rod push up to the rocker or pull down to the rocker. Pull rods were first brought to Formula 1 by Gordon Murray with Brabham in the 70s but now all formula one teams make use of the push rods, as pull rods are quite hard to implement in a high nosed car. The advantages of a pull rod lie in the possibility to make the nose lower, assemble most suspension parts lower to the ground and thus lowering the height of the center of gravity. Pull rod set up has a strut from the outer end of the upper wishbones that runs diagonally to the lower edge of the chassis and \"\"pulls\"\" a rocker to operate the spring\\damper. A push rod is the opposite; the strut runs from the lower wish bone to the upper edge of the chassis. Choice between the two is geometry and Co G (Centre of gravity). Also a pull rod will flex in droop ( wheel going down) and push rod will flex with the wheel in bump (wheel going up) hence F1 push or pull rods are large carbon molding to withstand the flexing from the high wheel loads. Most F1 cars now use push rods. The high nose makes it almost impossible to locate a rocker low enough in the chassis and still have the right geometry. Minardi and Arrows used pull rods with low noses to lower the centre of gravity."

If you've ever watched The Weather Channel, you've probably noticed all those arrows swirling around the meteorologist's map to indicate wind direction. The direction those arrows are pointing toward is largely determined by the Coriolis effect. If the Earth didn't rotate, winds would travel either north or south due to differences in temperature and pressure at different latitudes. But since the Earth does rotate, the Coriolis force deflects these winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, this deflection causes the wind flow around high pressure systems to go clockwise while flow around low-pressure systems travels counterclockwise. Imagine a low-pressure system as a vacuum that sucks all the surrounding air straight towards it, creating many vectors of wind that all focus on one spot. Because of the Coriolis effect, each of these vectors gets twisted to the right, which in turn creates a counterclockwise flow. With a high-pressure system, air gets forced outward and the Earth's eastward spin creates a clockwise flow. In the Southern Hemisphere, the opposite takes place: Wind around low-pressure systems circles clockwise while wind around high-pressure systems circles counterclockwise."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Earth Sciences & Geology What is the Coriolis Effect?can someone explain in a simple way and detailed way Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Coriolis effect is caused by an apparent force brought about by the rotation of the earth. This is further explained below. Consider the hot air which rises in the tropics and spreads north and south towards the poles. Because of the earth's rotation,the air does not travel in a straight line but is deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. This is called the coriolis effect. This coriolis force varies with latitude and wind speed. It is maximum at the poles and zero at the equator. This force can be illustrated as follows. Start rotating a turn table (like that of a gramaphone). With a ruler and chalk piece,quickly draw a straight line from centre to the circumference."

The first industrial Coriolis patents date back to the 1950s, and the first Coriolis mass flow meters were built in the 1970s. When a fluid is flowing in a pipe and it is subjected to Coriolis acceleration through the mechanical introduction of apparent rotation into the pipe, the amount of deflecting force generated by the Coriolis inertial effect will be a function of the mass flow rate of the fluid. If a pipe is rotated around a point while liquid is flowing through it (toward or away from the center of rotation), that fluid will generate an inertial force (acting on the pipe) that will be at right angles to the direction of the flow.

Referencing the figure on the right, a particle (dm) travels at a velocity (V) inside a tube (T) in a Coriolis meter. The tube is rotating about a fixed point (P), and the particle is at a distance of one radius (R) from the fixed point. The particle moves with angular velocity (w) under two components of acceleration, a centripetal acceleration directed toward P and a Coriolis acceleration acting at right angles to a r :a r (centripetal) = w 2r a t (Coriolis) = 2wv In order to impart the Coriolis acceleration (a t) to the fluid particle, a force of a t (dm) has to generated by the tube. The fluid particle reacts to this force with an equal and opposite Coriolis force: F c = a t (dm) = 2wv (dm)Then, if the process fluid has density D and is flowing at constant speed inside a rotating tube of cross-sectional area A, a segment of the tube of length x will experience a Coriolis force of magnitude: F c = 2wv DAx Because the mass flowrate is dm = Dv A, the Coriolis force F c = 2w (dm)x and, finally: Mass Flow = F c / (2wx)This is how measurement of the Coriolis force exerted by the flowing fluid on the rotating tube can provide an indication of mass flowrate."

"text": "Wind Wind refers to any flow of air above Earth 's surface in a roughly horizontal direction. A wind is always named according to the direction from which it blows. For example, a wind blowing from west to east is a west wind. The ultimate cause of Earth's winds is solar energy. When sunlight strikes Earth's surface, it heats that surface differently. Newly turned soil, for example, absorbs more heat than does snow. Uneven heating of Earth's surface, in turn, causes differences in air pressure at various locations. Heated air rises, creating an area of low pressure beneath. Cooler air descends, creating an area of high pressure. Since the atmosphere constantly seeks to restore balance, air from areas of high pressure always flow into adjacent areas of low pressure."

"text": "\"As the Earth rotates to the East, any object not attached to it will seem to drift to the West. This is why the stars, Sun, Moon and planets all rise in the East and set in the West. Their motion is, in a sense, an optical illusion, a mirror image of the motion which we actually have. Similarly, there are effects which act on objects near the surface of the Earth which are not so obvious as the rotation of the sky, but which can be directly verified by careful observation. These effects can be explained in terms of an 'imaginary' force called the Coriolis force (after Gustave Coriolis, a French engineer and mathematician who showed that such a force could be used to allow the use of the ordinary laws of motion in a rotating reference frame), and as a result the effects are referred to as Coriolis effects. The nature and size of the Coriolis effects depend upon where you are. If you are near the Pole the axis of the Earth's rotation is nearly vertical relative to your Horizon, and as things spin around in the sky they move nearly horizontally. Similarly, the Coriolis effects are almost completely horizontal. But if you were near the Equator, where the Earth's axis of rotation is nearly horizontal, things spinning around the sky would move nearly vertically and the Coriolis effects are almost completely vertical. At in-between latitudes the stars rise and set at an angle to both the vertical and the horizontal, and there are both vertical and horizontal Coriolis effects."

In the case of the straight isobars ,the first two forces only act. So,the wind which blows under the balance of the pressure gradient and coriolis force ,is called geostrophic wind. It blows parallel to the isobar Frictional force near the ground sometimes makes the wind blow at an angle to the isobars.

This condition is called geostrophic balance. The geostrophic wind is directed parallel to isobars (lines of constant pressure at a given height). This balance seldom holds exactly in nature. The true wind almost always differs from the geostrophic wind due to other forces such as friction from the ground or the centrifugal force from curved fluid flow."

Atmospheric Circulation The troposphere undergoes circulation because of convection. Convection is a mode of heat transfer wherin the heat moves with the material. Warm air, becuase it is less dense than cooler air, rises and cold air sinks back toward the surface. Convection in the atmosphere is mainly the result of the fact that more of the Sun's heat energy is received by parts of the Earth near the Equator than at the poles. Thus air at the equator is heated reducing its the density. Lower density causes the air to rise. At the top of the troposphere this air spreads toward the poles. If the Earth were not rotating, this would result in a convection cell, with warm moist air rising at the equator, spreading toward the poles along the top of the troposphere, cooling as it moves poleward, then descending at the poles, as shown in the diagram above."

As how water poured from a mountain top would flow perpendicular to contour lines. I understand why the earth's rotation skews the resulting vector, but can you explain why the resulting vector is 90 degrees off? With the water analogy, it's easy enough to imagine that spinning the whole mountain would make the water kind of spiral around the surface on its way down.

PLANETOBSERVER / Getty Imagesby Amanda Briney Updated August 15, 2017A river delta is a low-lying plain or landform that occurs at the mouth of a river near where the river flows into the ocean or another body of water. Deltas are important to both human activities and fish and other wildlife because they are normally home to very fertile soil as well as a large amount of vegetation. Prior to understanding deltas, it is first important to understand rivers. Rivers are defined as fresh bodies of water that generally flow from high elevations toward the ocean, lake or another river. In some instances, however, they do not make it to the ocean - they instead flow into the ground. Most rivers begin at high elevations where snow, rain, and other precipitation run downhill into creeks and small streams. As these small waterways flow farther downhill they eventually meet and form rivers."

"text": "Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome Symptoms Causes Risk Factors Diagnosis Treatments Outlook What Is Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome? Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a birth defect in which the heart develops an extra, or “aberrant,” electrical pathway. This can lead to a rapid heart rate, which is called tachycardia. Medications may help alleviate the symptoms. However, a surgical procedure called catheter ablation is usually used to destroy the extra pathway and restore normal heart rhythm. Symptoms Symptoms of WPW Syndrome The first sign of WPW syndrome is usually a rapid heart rate. The symptoms of WPW syndrome may occur in infants or adults. In infants, the symptoms may include:severe fatigue or lethargya loss of appetiteshortness of breathrapid, visible pulsations of the chest In children, teenagers, and adults, the symptoms may include:heart palpitationsa racing heartdizzinesslightheadednessfaintingshortness of breath or difficulty breathinganxietypanicsudden death (rarely)In some people, the symptoms will not appear at all or will appear only periodically in short episodes. Causes What Causes WPW Syndrome? Doctors aren’t sure what causes WPW syndrome."

"text": "Cardiac arrhythmias are a common cause of sudden death. ECG monitoring should be established as soon as possible for all patients who collapse suddenly or have symptoms of coronary ischemia or infarction. To avoid delay, apply adhesive electrodes with a conventional or automated external defibrillator (AED) or use the “quick-look” paddles feature on conventional defibrillators. For patients with acute coronary ischemia, the greatest risk for serious arrhythmias occurs during the first 4 hours after the onset of symptoms (see Part 8: “Stabilization of the Patient With Acute Coronary Syndromes”). 1Principles of Arrhythmia Recognition and Management The ECG and rhythm information should be interpreted within the context of total patient assessment. Errors in diagnosis and treatment are likely to occur if ACLS providers base treatment decisions solely on rhythm interpretation and neglect clinical evaluation. Providers must evaluate the patient’s symptoms and clinical signs, including ventilation, oxygenation, heart rate, blood pressure, and level of consciousness, and look for signs of inadequate organ perfusion. These guidelines emphasize the importance of clinical evaluation and highlight principles of therapy with algorithms that have been refined and streamlined since the 2000 edition of the guidelines. 2 The principles of arrhythmia recognition and management in adults are as follows: If bradycardia produces signs and symptoms (eg, acute altered mental status, ongoing severe ischemic chest pain, congestive heart failure, hypotension, or other signs of shock) that persist despite adequate airway and breathing, prepare to provide pacing. For symptomatic high-degree (second-degree or third-degree) atrioventricular (AV) block, provide transcutaneous pacing without delay."

"text": "\"Arrhythmia Induction Earlier in this document, we discussed how the fastest rhythm was the one that would control the heart. By using this knowledge, physicians can \"\"take control\"\" of the heart and set up various conditions that help in determining if an arrhythmia may be possible. By pacing at a rate that exceeds the patient's intrinsic rate, the operator takes control of the properties of depolarization. Once that has been achieved, it is possible to introduce early stimuli to determine how the heart will respond. This process is known as induction. Induction is the heart of electrophysiology studies. All the previous testing we have done checks for different forms of delays within the conduction system. With induction, we move away from the slow paced world of blocks and enter into the fast paced world of tachycardias. Here is where the fun starts. To fully understand how induction works, you should first read the section on automatic and reentry arrhythmias."

About the Heart's Electrical System When most people think of the heart, they think of the arteries of the heart, or of the heart muscle and valves. But the heart also has a complex electrical system that coordinates the rhythm. Abnormalities in the heart's electrical system can lead to arrhythmias - causing the heart to beat too fast or too slowly. The heart is divided by muscle and fibrous tissue into a right and left side. Each side has an upper chamber or atrium that collects blood returning to the heart and a muscular lower chamber or ventricle that pumps that blood away from the heart. The right atrium (RA) receives blood from you body and pumps it into the right ventricle (RV). The right ventricle then pumps it to your lungs. From the lungs, blood returns to your left atrium (LA) and then pumped into the left ventricle (LV). From the left ventricle it is pumped out to your body."

Overview of Supraventricular Tachycardia in Dogs and Cats The Ohio State University KEY FACTS I SVT can result from disorders in impulse formation, impulse conduction, or a combination of both. I Narrow QRS complexes and P waves are generally present with SVT; but P waves may be difficult to identify, especially if they are superimposed on the QRS or T waves. I Although many SVTs cannot be eliminated by medical or surgical intervention, therapy may decrease the hemodynamic consequences of the arrhythmia and improve the patient’s health. I Digoxin is the drug of choice for many SVTs, but β-adrenergic and calcium-channel blockers are also used. Tamara Grubb, DVM, MS William W. Muir III, DVM, Ph D ABSTRACT: Supraventicular tachycardia (SVT) is one of the most common arrhythmias in dogs and cats. The clinical mechanisms for SVT are divided into three categories of disorders: impulse formation, impulse conduction, or a combination of the two. The electrocardiographic characterization of SVT varies slightly with the anatomic origin of atrial activation but generally is characterized by a detectable P wave and normal QRS configuration and duration."

Sacramento (California) Delta at flood stage, early-March 2009A river delta is a landform that forms from deposition of sediment carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. [ 1] [2] This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot transport away the supplied sediment. The size and shape of a delta is controlled by the balance between watershed processes that supply sediment and receiving basin processes that redistribute, sequester, and export that sediment. [ 3] [4] The size, geometry, and location of the receiving basin also plays an important role in delta evolution. River deltas are important in human civilization, as they are major agricultural production centers and population centers. They can provide coastline defense and can impact drinking water supply. [ 5] They are also ecologically important, with different species assemblages depending on their landscape position.

"text": "WPW (Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome)Description Wolff-Parkinson-White ( WPW for short) is a syndrome in which pre-excitation of the ventricles can occur due to impulses traveling through an accessory pathway in the heart from the atria to the ventricles. The arrow in the diagram below points to an area of the heart where this may typically occur. Individuals may have multiple accessory pathways. WPW is a form of supraventricular tachycardia ( SVT ). Examples The initial diagnosis of WPW is frequently made from a resting EKG as shown below. When one compares the complexes and measurements in this EKG, which displays WPW to the Normal Heart Rhythm, you will note four differences. First, the PR interval is shorter than normal, in this example it is .06 seconds vs the normal range of .12-.20 seconds. Second, you will note that the initial portion of the QRS complex does not rise as quickly as normal. This is referred to as a delta wave. Third, the QRS complex is wider than normal, in this case .16 seconds vs. the normal range of .04-.10 seconds."

The extra pathway is present at birth and fairly rare. The episodes of fast heartbeats usually aren't life-threatening, but serious heart problems can occur. Treatment can stop or prevent episodes of fast heartbeats. A catheter-based procedure (ablation) can permanently correct the heart rhythm problems. Most people with an extra electrical pathway experience no fast heartbeat. This condition, called Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern, is discovered only by chance during a heart exam. Although WPW pattern is often harmless, doctors might recommend further evaluation before children with WPW pattern participate in high-intensity sports. Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome care at Mayo Clinic Symptoms People of all ages, including infants, can experience the symptoms related to WPW. Symptoms of WPW syndrome are the result of a fast heart rate."

Here the water from the river slows considerably and the silt it is carrying begins to fall away. Historical Roots What is a river delta and how did it get its name? The Greek historian Herodotus first used the term “delta\"\" for the unique triangular area at the mouth of the Nile River. He likened the triangular shape of the silt deposits to the Greek letter Delta and the name stuck. How a Delta Is Formed A river delta forms when the fast moving river water enters a larger, slower moving body of water. As the current slows, it is unable to keep pulling the silt that it is carrying down the river any further. The silt starts to drop away. Because the water coming down the river spreads out equally in all directions, a fan shape forms at the mouth of the river. This fan shape (similar to a triangle) builds up as more and more sediment is deposited."

Fogoros, MD, a board-certified physician Updated September 26, 2017Share Pin Email Printartpartner-images/Getty Images People who experience sudden episodes of tachycardia (rapid heart rates), often have one of the many varieties of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). The term “SVT” encompasses a large variety of cardiac arrhythmias that typically start and stop quite suddenly, that are almost always non-life-threatening, but that can be significantly disruptive to your life. Atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) is the second most common type of SVT, accounting for about 30% of all SVTs. What Is AVRT? AVRT is a type of reentrant tachycardia. As is the case with all reentrant SVTs, people with AVRT are born with an abnormal electrical connection in the heart. In AVRT, the extra connection, which is often called an “accessory pathway,” creates an electrical connection between one of the atria (the upper chambers of the heart), and one of the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart). Read about the heart's chambers. Normally, the only electrical connection between the atria and the ventricles is the normal cardiac conducting system, which consists of the AV node and the His bundle.

"text": "\"Home »Geology Types of Depositional Landforms By Debra Durkee; Updated January 30, 2018Depositional landforms are the visible evidence of processes that have deposited sediments or rocks after they were transported by flowing ice or water, wind or gravity. Examples include beaches, deltas, glacial moraines, sand dunes and salt domes. Such landforms can change their shapes over a relatively short period of time if the process that caused the buildup is recent and still going on. On the other hand, some depositional landforms are remnants of processes that were completed millions of years ago. Glacier Deposits When a glacier moves over a landscape, it picks up and carries with it rocks, soil and other forms of rubble. When the glacier retreats, the rubble contained within it is left behind in the new landscape. The term \"\"moraine\"\" has several meanings. One meaning is a pile of rubble left in one area that is of a sort typically found in another landscape. These piles were carried for long distances by the movement of glaciers, then deposited when the ice melted. Drumlins are tear-shaped depositional landforms created by the compression of such rubble."

WPW syndrome is the most common type of ventricular pre-excitation syndromes. In normal conditions, the electrical signals in the heart move through the heart using a single path. It is as a result of the movement of electrical signals from the heart’s atria to the ventricles, the heart beat is caused. Therefore for the heart to beat properly, the timing of the electrical signals play a vital role. But in case of people with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, as they are born with an extra connection in the heart, called an accessory pathway which allows electrical signals to go around the atrioventricular node and move from the atria to the ventricles faster than usual, this results in the arrival of the electrical signals to the ventricle sooner than it actually should. This condition is called the WPW syndrome. The WPW Syndrome comes under the category of heart’s electrical abnormality called the pre-excitation syndrome. It is usually recognized by the changes seen in the electrocardiogram."

"text": "Wolff Parkinson White What is Wolff Parkinson White (WPW)? Wolff Parkinson White is a condition in which there is an extra electrical connection between the top chambers of the heart (the atria) and the bottom chambers of the heart (the ventricles). This extra connection is called an accessory pathway. Patients with WPW have a characteristic appearance on their EKG in which the ventricular signal (the QRS) is wider than normal. Patients with WPW also have a characteristic signal called a “delta wave” that is present on their EKG that is part of the ventricular signal. What are the symptoms of WPW? Many patients with WPW do not feel anything. However, many patients with WPW are more susceptible to having abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) such as supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). If the accessory pathway is able to conduct electrical activity, an arrhythmia that is called reentry can occur in which electrical activity conducts down the normal electrical system and back up the accessory pathway. Patients with WPW also have a higher risk of developing atrial fibrillation and sudden cardiac death."

But even at a tender and impressionable age, that explanation seemed pretty silly. During most lightning storms the sky was completely covered with clouds, and I never saw lightning when there were only individual clouds in the sky. Something else was at work here. To understand lightning I had to learn about the nature of electricity: what it is, and how it moves. I found out that everything in the world is made of electricity and that electrical forces are responsible for holding things together--and sometimes for pushing them apart.

"text": "Severe Weather 101Lightning Basics What we do: Read more about NSSL's lightning research here. What is lightning? Lightning is a giant spark of electricity in the atmosphere between clouds, the air, or the ground. In the early stages of development, air acts as an insulator between the positive and negative charges in the cloud and between the cloud and the ground. When the opposite charges builds up enough, this insulating capacity of the air breaks down and there is a rapid discharge of electricity that we know as lightning. The flash of lightning temporarily equalizes the charged regions in the atmosphere until the opposite charges build up again. Lightning can occur between opposite charges within the thunderstorm cloud (intra-cloud lightning) or between opposite charges in the cloud and on the ground (cloud-to-ground lightning). Lightning is one of the oldest observed natural phenomena on earth. It can be seen in volcanic eruptions, extremely intense forest fires, surface nuclear detonations, heavy snowstorms, in large hurricanes, and obviously, thunderstorms. What causes thunder?"

"text": "Thunderstorm, a violent, short-lived weather disturbance that is almost always associated with lightning, thunder, dense clouds, heavy rain or hail, and strong, gusty winds. Thunderstorms arise when layers of warm, moist air rise in a large, swift updraft to cooler regions of the atmosphere. There the moisture contained in the updraft condenses to form towering cumulonimbus clouds and, eventually, precipitation. Columns of cooled air then sink earthward, striking the ground with strong downdrafts and horizontal winds. At the same time, electrical charges accumulate on cloud particles (water droplets and ice). Lightning discharges occur when the accumulated electric charge becomes sufficiently large. Lightning heats the air it passes through so intensely and quickly that shock waves are produced; these shock waves are heard as claps and rolls of thunder. On occasion, severe thunderstorms are accompanied by swirling vortices of air that become concentrated and powerful enough to form tornadoes. Formation of a thunderstorm. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Thunderstorms are known to occur in almost every region of the world, though they are rare in polar regions and infrequent at latitudes higher than 50° N and 50° S. The temperate and tropical regions of the world, therefore, are the most prone to thunderstorms."

This phenomenon occurs because of a difference in charge between a storm cloud and the ground. First, the base of a cloud sends down a little electric discharge, called a stepped leader. It descends to the ground in steps, each about 50 yards (about 46 meters) in length. This process is extremely fast and impossible to see with the naked eye. Each step is less than a millionth of a second long. The interval between steps works out to about fifty-millionths of a second. This process can only be observed with the assistance of extremely quick-exposure cameras. The stepped leader generally moves at about 75 miles per second (120 km/s) towards the ground."

"text": "An event as powerful as lightning needs something even more powerful to generate it- the thunderstorm. It all begins when the atmosphere becomes unstable. In the summertime, the sun's energy heats the earth's surface, which in turn heats the atmosphere close to the ground. This warmer air close to the ground is buoyant relative to the air above it. If this instability becomes great enough, columns of warm air may begin to rapidly burst upward through the atmosphere in a process called convection. As the massive volumes of air rise, they condense in the cooler surrounding air. If there is sufficient moisture in the air, this process creates the enormous, towering cumulonimbus clouds (see diagram at above right), and a thunderstorm is born. An approaching cold front can also force warm, moist air at the surface upward, initiating thunderstorm development. While there are several theories, the exact mechanism of lightning generation within a thunderstorm is not yet known. Strong updrafts in a thunderstorm carry water droplets into the subfreezing air high in the atmosphere."

The process that creates a lightning stroke is not light transfer, but is the transfer of electrical energy (charge) through the air. Much like an electrical cable, the air, even though it is ionized, has some resistance to charge transfer. The speed of the stroke is impeded by having to transfer the energy from molecule to molecule along the way, in the process literally exploding the molecules into atoms. David R. Cook Atmospheric Research Section Environmental Research Division Argonne National Laboratory From Jetstream Online School for Weather http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/lightn... Step 1 The stepped leader A typical CG lightning strike initiates inside the storm. Under the influences of the electric field between the cloud and the ground, a very faint, negatively charged channel called a \"\"stepped leader\"\" emerges from the storm base and propagates toward the ground in a series of steps about 50 meters (160 feet) in length and 1 microsecond (0.000001 seconds) in duration. In what can be loosely described as an \"\"avalanche of electrons\"\", the stepped leader usually branches out in many directions as it approaches the ground, carrying an EXTREMELY strong electric potential: about 100 MILLION volts with respect to the ground and about 5 coulombs of negative charge. Between each step there is a pause of about 50 microseconds, during which the stepped leader \"\"looks\"\" around for an object to strike. If none is \"\"seen\"\", it takes another step, and repeats the process until it \"\"finds\"\" a target."

By Richard Gaughan; Updated March 09, 2018The flash of a nearby lightning bolt followed by the crack of thunder can't help but make you take notice of the power of nature. And it's a good thing you get that reminder because lightning kills more people than floods, hurricanes or tornadoes. Some of those deaths are from direct strikes, but most are from the distributed effects of the large surge of current created when lightning hits. That current can make its way through electrical wires into your home, damage your appliances and put you at risk -- your television set is not immune to the danger. Lightning Water and ice droplets can carry an electric charge. During a thunderstorm, clouds separate the charge -- sending the positive charge to the top of the cloud and the negative charge to the base. No one truly understands the mechanism for that charge separation, nor can anyone conclusively state what triggers lightning to start at a specific moment. But what is known is that the charge in the clouds continues to build, creating an electric field between the cloud and the ground. The air between acts as an insulator, preventing current from flowing, but eventually the electric field gets large enough and current flows."

David James/Riser/ Getty Images According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service, approximately 1,800 thunderstorms are occurring at any given time, resulting in about 16-million thunderstorms each year. Most thunderstorms last about 30 minutes and are typically about 15 miles (24 km) in diameter. The two biggest threats associated with most thunderstorms are lightning and flash floods. To understand why thunderstorms occur more often during the warm months requires some understanding of thunderstorm basics. Thunderstorms thrive under certain conditions. The two most basic elements that cause a thunderstorm to develop are: Moisture Rapidly rising warm air Because moisture and warmth are crucial to thunderstorms, it makes sense that they would occur more often in the spring and summer, particularly in humid areas such as the southeastern United States. The high humidity, in conjunction with warm temperatures, creates massive amounts of warm, moist air rising into the atmosphere, where it can easily form a thunderstorm. Where does the thunder (and lightning) come from? The basic idea is that thunder clouds can become giant Van de Graaff generators and create huge charge separations within the cloud."

The anteater has a long thin head and a long flexible tongue, which is covered in sticky saliva, which the anteater flicks very rapidly to sweep up insects into its mouth. Sloths are medium-sized mammals that live in trees, usually hanging upside-down from branches, in the rainforests of Central and South America. They have very slow metabolisms and as such move very slowly. They eat mostly leaves but some species have been known to sometimes eat insects, small reptiles and even birds.

Share the Symbols you Like Most: Tweet Although the dragons of the East and the West have quite similar physical characteristics, their symbolic representations are drastically different and, in a way, indicate the cultural differences between these civilizations. The most notable difference between the Asian and European dragons is that while the European folklore has portrayed the dragons as evil, fearsome and malevolent creatures, the Asian cultures regard them as benevolent beings. European dragons : The European dragons are depicted as fire-breathing, winged beasts living in underground lairs or in rivers. They were believed to guard great treasures and were often associated with heroes who try to slay them. For instance, there is the all too familiar tale of the venerated military saint, Saint George killing a dragon. Thus, according to the European myths the dragons are symbolic of sin, wickedness and ferocity. However, the Welsh folklore contains some notable exceptions to this view. Asian Dragons : In the Orient, dragons symbolize wisdom, longevity, sexuality, fertility, procreation, and regeneration. They are seen as mythical beings having magical powers and symbolize water in the Asian cultures."

They are very powerful creatures and both are needed to achieve the delicate balance of male and female energies. Dragon Symbolic Meaning The symbolism of the dragon, the celestial guardian of the east, as an opponent of the tiger has a long history in the Chinese culture. The opposition by the tiger sends a powerful message, because the dragon has long represented the Chinese emperor and those of royal blood who claimed to be descendants of the god dragons.

As a tattoo design the dragon shows the profound influence that Japanese and Chinese culture have had in Western tattooing for nearly two centuries. In the Far East, the dragon represents the Four Elements - Earth, Wind, Fire and Water - and the four points of the compass - East, West, North and South - and dragons are simultaneously a symbol of Water, Earth, Underworld and Sky. The dragon is a culturally far-ranging character whose apparent bad temper should be interpreted as simply amoral, neither good nor evil. The forces of nature are not human-hearted, representing as they do the cycle of life and death, followed again by birth and renewal. Nature nurtures and nature destroys. So too, does the dragon. By the looks of them, dragons have been around since the dawn of time. These giant, winged, fire-breathing lizards are reminiscent of the prehistoric creatures - dinosaurs, no less - that once roamed the earth millions of years ago, but the fact is, the dragon grew out of the human imagination. However, the genesis of the mighty dragon may have been helped in no small part by the discovery in China and other parts the world of the fossil remains of dinosaurs and other gigantic reptiles."

Despite its popularity now, it has not always enjoyed the kind of limelight it owns today. People from the previous generation regarded tattooing to be connotative, and thus quite unacceptable. Deciding to get inked may be caused by different factors. For some, it is an expression of one’s spiritual views and for others, a symbol of pride for one’s heritage. Generally, they are drawn on the skin to convey messages the tattooed person wants to express. This can range from signs of harmony, strength, and love. Additionally, tattoos are used to communicate meanings permanently. The exquisite designs display messages without the need for verbal expressions.

I had kept many other reptile and amphibian species in the past, but never lizards. Little did I know that upon setting eyes on that bright green creature that it would become the start of what appears to be a life-long love of the green water dragon. Chinese water dragons ( Physignathus cocincinus) were starting to become popular in the pet trade at that time, but it wasn’t as easy to find quality care information in 1995 as it is today. Over the past decade, I have researched the care of Physignathus cocincinus by reading books, exchanging information with thousands of water dragon owners and through my own trial and error. Photo by Tricia Power Know the sex of your water dragons before placing multiple individuals in an enclosure together. More than one male may result in battles. Stores that sell reptiles often carry Chinese water dragons, also known as the green water dragon or Asian water dragon. They originate from the southeast Asian mainland — Thailand, southern China, Vietnam and Cambodia. Many of these lizards are still imported from their countries of origin for the pet trade, but over the years there has been an increase in captive breeding by private owners and reptile-related businesses throughout North America and Europe."

"text": "Home / Chinese Culture /Chinese Dragon Nine-Dragon Screen, Beihai Park, Beijing Chinese Dragon Photos The people of China have a long held belief that they are descendents of the dragon, a tradition that is firmly embedded in their culture and one that is encountered across all aspects of Chinese society and in the minds of its people. Whereas in western cultures the dragon is usually regarded as a symbol of malevolence, in China it is held in high esteem for its dignity and power for good. From primitive times people have regarded the dragon as an auspicious creature with the power to bless and influence their lives. As tribes fought for domination and came to be united under a common banner the dragon was adopted as a national icon. Such was the mysterious creature's power it was regarded as the god of rain, thunder, the rainbow, and the stars. In a society that was founded upon agriculture and animal husbandry totally reliant upon its natural environment and in particular the climate, the dragon was worshipped as the source of all that was beneficial to communal well being. This concept has been sustained for thousands of years as more and more deification was bestowed upon the dragon ranging from being a bringer of joy to prophecy and miracles. With the establishment of a feudal society, emperors compared themselves to the dragon thereby making it the exclusive symbol of imperial majesty. Anyone who subsequently used the dragon as a symbol either intentionally or erroneously could be regarded as offending their ruler and condemned to death. A dragon-shaped lantern The image of the dragon has undergone a series of changes over the centuries becoming more and more mighty and beautiful."

TANG, Research Officer, Risk Assessment Section, Centre for Food Safety Summary of Incident In March 2007, a food poisoning outbreak was reported in Zhanjiang in Guangdong province with one patient died after the consumption of a toxic goby, Yongeichthys criniger. Y. criniger, a member of the Gobiidae family, is one of the few gobies that develop a powerful poison called tetrodotoxin, which also occurs in some puffers. This toxic goby looks similar to another member of the Gobiidae family, edible mudskippers for example Boleophthalmus pectinirostris which is a very common non-toxic food fish species in China. Therefore some people initially thought that the fish poisoning was caused by the consumption of mudskipper. Tetrodotoxin-containing goby species are rarely found in Hong Kong. None of the food fish species of goby available in the local market have been reported to contain tetrodotoxin. What is Tetrodotoxin? Tetrodotoxin is a potent marine neurotoxin, named after the order Tetraodontiformes with which it is commonly associated. Puffer fish (see illustrations) and porcupine fish are common examples of fish containing tetrodotoxin under this order. Tetrodotoxin has also been isolated from other animal species including goby, shellfish, California newt, parrotfish, frogs of the genus Atelopus, the blue-ringed octopus, starfish, angelfish, and xanthid crabs."

Chemistry has no dearth of deadly chemicals (Photo Credit : Antoine2K / Shutterstock)List of the most toxic substances in the world: Botulinum toxin A (Botox)Chlorine Trifluoride VXBatrachotoxin Carbon Monoxide Ricin Asbestos Note: The list is in no way an exhaustive one; there may be many chemicals out there that were missed while compiling this list. This is just a short compilation of chemicals that are known as some of the most notorious in the world of toxins. Botulinum toxin A (Botox)Commercially sold as ‘Botox’, this is arguably the most toxic substance in nature. It is actually a neurotoxic protein that is produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum and other related species.3d ribbon model of botulinum toxin A (Photo Credit: Wikipedia Commons)As a neurotoxin, it’s known to adversely impact the communication between nerves and muscle cells, which can cause respiratory failure and even death. You can judge the level of its toxicity by the fact that just 1 gram (0.035 ounces) of this chemical can potentially kill 8.3 million people through injection and 14,000 people if swallowed! ( Source)Amazingly enough, it’s also used to treat excessive sweating and muscle spasms in extremely small doses. Botox (the commercial name of botulinum toxin) is quite a common name in the world of cosmetic surgery and is frequently used as an anti-aging agent because it paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles. Botox treatment paralyses wrinkle-causing muscles Chlorine Trifluoride This chemical is an interhalogen compound (meaning it only contains halogen atoms) with the formula Cl F-3."

As Mark Siddall, Curator of Invertebrate Zoology at AMNH, explains in the clip above, both the rough-skinned newt and the blue-ringed octopus produce a powerful toxin called tetrodotoxin.

"text": "\"Venom Symptoms and Impact Snake venom is the cause of many injuries and deaths to humans each year. The affect that snake venom has on the human body varies based on the species of snake and the type and amount of venom that is injected. Each species of snake injects a different venom and knowing the type of snake involved in a snakebite incident can be vital in saving a person’s life. How does snake venom affect the human body? Snake venom falls into four categories, Hemotoxic venom, Cytotoxic venom, Proteolytic venom and Neurotoxic venom. Each of these venom types target different systems within the body and cause different symptoms. All of these types of venom will need treatment to deactivate the affects. Hemotoxic venom attacks and damages red blood cells. This disrupts the body’s ability to clot blood and causes widespread damage to organs and tissue. The most obvious damage is done to the heart and cardiovascular system which pumps the venom around the body."

It puffs up two times its size and also releases a toxin called tetrodotoxin. This toxin makes a very unpleasant smell and not a good meal for the predator. Tetrodotoxin is present in the liver, blood, muscle tissue, ovaries, and intestine. If a human should eat puffer fish meat they would be poisoned and taken to the hospital. REPRODUCTION: The puffer fish has a unique reproduction method. The females lay eggs at the shore after the males have pushed them to a certain place. These are spherical in shape and usually float on the surface because of their weight. The babies usually hatch within a week. The larvae are covered in a shell that breaks within a few days and the larvae develops fins, teeth, and all necessary parts."

They are called \"\"end plates\"\" because the postsynaptic terminals of muscle fibers have a large, saucer-like appearance. When an action potential reaches the axon terminal of a motor neuron, vesicles carrying neurotransmitters (mostly acetylcholine) are exocytosed and the contents are released into the neuromuscular junction. These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and lead to its depolarization. In the absence of an action potential, acetylcholine vesicles spontaneously leak into the neuromuscular junction and cause very small depolarizations in the postsynaptic membrane. This small response (~0.4m V) [1] is called a miniature end plate potential (MEPP) and is generated by one acetylcholine-containing vesicle. It represents the smallest possible depolarization which can be induced in a muscle.

The family includes many familiar species which are variously called pufferfish, puffers, balloonfish, blowfish, blowies, bubblefish, globefish, swellfish, toadfish, toadies, honey toads, sugar toads, and sea squab. [ 1] They are morphologically similar to the closely related porcupinefish, which have large external spines (unlike the thinner, hidden spines of the Tetraodontidae, which are only visible when the fish has puffed up). The scientific name refers to the four large teeth, fused into an upper and lower plate, which are used for crushing the shells of crustaceans and mollusks, their natural prey. The majority of pufferfish species are toxic and some are among the most poisonous vertebrates in the world. In certain species, the internal organs, such as liver, and sometimes their skin, contain tetrodotoxin and are highly toxic to most animals when eaten; nevertheless, the meat of some species is considered a delicacy in Japan (as 河豚, pronounced as fugu ), Korea (as 복 bok or 복어 bogeo ), and China (as 河豚 hétún) when prepared by specially trained chefs who know which part is safe to eat and in what quantity."

A venomous animal has a means of injecting their toxin into another animal, whereas a poisonous animal can only deliver their toxin in a more passive manner (by being touched or eaten). A common example given to clarify this difference is that frogs are poisonous while snakes are venomous. It is also important to note that the affects from a venomous fish sting can often be relieved by immersing the wound in hot water (~105–115F) because these toxins are heat labile (meaning they can be destroyed or altered by heat).1. Pufferfish (some species are also called toadfish) have been given the title ‘Most Poisonous Fish’ and have also been labeled the second most poisonous vertebrate in the world. The toxin responsible for ranking this fish so high in the “danger zone” is called tetrodotoxin."

Athena, the goddess who cursed her Medusa was a daughter of Phorcys and Keto, and was once a priestess of Athena. Poseidon was bitter at Athena for recently turning his beloved Coronis into a raven, and beating him to the city of Athens, so he decided to get back at her by seducing Medusa within the goddess' virgin temple. As a result, the infuriated and disgusted Athena cursed Medusa and her sisters, much to Poseidon's horror and dismay. The girl's hair was turned into serpents and anyone who would look upon her gaze would turn to stone. Her sisters, Stheno and Euryale, were eventually made immortal, though they do not have the power to turn people to stone like their sister. Medusa had two children with Poseidon, Chrysaor, who was born from her neck, and another child, Pegasus, who was born from her blood when Perseus beheaded her (while the Gorgon was asleep). The hero would subsequently use Medusa's severed head to defeat Poseidon's ferocious sea serpent, saving Andromeda in the process."

He is the main protagonist and first-person narrator in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series and appears in every book of the Camp Half-Blood chronicles except The Lost Hero and The Dark Prophecy. In his most recent appearance in The Hidden Oracle, the seventeen-year-old Percy states that he and his girlfriend Annabeth Chase plan to finish senior year in New York before he heads to New Rome University. [ 1]Percy is described as having a \"\"Mediterranean\"\" complexion, with black hair and his father's sea green eyes. [ 2] The powers he inherited from his father include controlling water, control over boats and old sailing ships, making hurricanes, breathing underwater, and talking to horse-like animals and sea creatures. He is also a notably good swordsman. Throughout the series, Percy fights by using a ballpoint pen named Anaklusmos ( Ancient Greek for \"\"Riptide\"\") that changes into a \"\"celestial bronze\"\" sword. Percy's fatal flaw is excessive personal loyalty, which he does not at first see as a danger. [ 3]In the film adaptations, he is portrayed by Logan Lerman."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation DDx Workup Treatment Medication Follow-up Media Gallery References Background Poisoning with the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin (TTX) occurs after ingestion of various species of puffer fish (see the image below). Puffer fish. View Media Gallery The flesh of the puffer fish (ie, fugu) is considered a delicacy in Japan. It is prepared by chefs specially trained and certified by the government to prepare the flesh free of the toxic liver, gonads, and skin. Despite these precautions, many cases of tetrodotoxin poisoning are reported each year in patients ingesting fugu. Poisonings usually occur after eating fish caught and prepared by uncertified handlers. The toxic dose is not clear because puffer fish have different concentrations of tetrodotoxin. A dose of 1-2 mg of purified toxin can be lethal. Reported cases from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have documented toxicity with ingestion of as little as 1.4 ounces of puffer fish. Tetrodotoxin also is found in the the following: Gastropod mollusc The eggs of horseshoe crabs Newts of the genus Taricha The skin of Atelopid frogs The skin and viscera of porcupine fish, globefish, balloon fish, blowfish, sunfish, toadfish, blue-ringed octopus, and some species of salamanders [ 1]Pathophysiology Puffer fish contain the potent neurotoxin tetrodotoxin."

Abstract Voltage-gated sodium channels (Na v) are key components for nerve excitability. They initiate and propagate the action potential in excitable cells, throughout the central and peripheral nervous system, thus enabling a variety of physiological functions to be achieved. The rising phase of the action potential is driven by the opening of Na v channels which activate rapidly and carry Na + ions in the intracellular medium, and ends with the Na + current inactivation. The biophysical properties of these channels have been elucidated, through the use of pharmacological agents that disrupt the molecular mechanism of the channel functioning. Among them, marine toxins produced by venomous animals or microorganisms have been crucial to map the different allosteric binding sites of the channels, understand their mode of action and represent an emerging source of therapeutic agents to alleviate or cure Na + channels-linked human diseases. In this article, we review recent discoveries on the molecular and biophysical properties of the Na + channel as a target for marine neurotoxins, and present the ongoing developments of pharmacological agents as therapeutic tools.

This is just a short compilation of chemicals that are known as some of the most notorious in the world of toxins. Botulinum toxin A (Botox)Commercially sold as ‘Botox’, this is arguably the most toxic substance in nature. It is actually a neurotoxic protein that is produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum and other related species.3d ribbon model of botulinum toxin A (Photo Credit: Wikipedia Commons)As a neurotoxin, it’s known to adversely impact the communication between nerves and muscle cells, which can cause respiratory failure and even death. You can judge the level of its toxicity by the fact that just 1 gram (0.035 ounces) of this chemical can potentially kill 8.3 million people through injection and 14,000 people if swallowed! ( Source)Amazingly enough, it’s also used to treat excessive sweating and muscle spasms in extremely small doses. Botox (the commercial name of botulinum toxin) is quite a common name in the world of cosmetic surgery and is frequently used as an anti-aging agent because it paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles.

Holland Photograph by Mattias Klum Michael decided to go for a swim. He was on vacation with his family in Guerrero, Mexico, and it was hotter than blazes. He grabbed his swimming trunks from where they’d been drying on a chair, slid them on, and jumped into the pool. Instead of cool relief, a burning pain ripped through the back of his thigh. Tearing off his trunks, he leaped naked from the pool, his leg on fire. Behind him a small, ugly, yellow creature was treading water. He scooped it into a Tupperware container, and the caretaker of the house rushed him to the local Red Cross facility, where doctors immediately identified his attacker: a bark scorpion, Centruroides sculpturatus, one of the most venomous species in North America. The fierce pain from a sting is typically followed by what feels like electric shocks racking the body. Occasionally victims die."

Like other cephalopods, the octopus is bilaterally symmetric with two eyes and a beak, with its mouth at the centre point of the arms (which are sometimes mistakenly called \"\" tentacles \"\"). The soft body can rapidly alter its shape, enabling octopuses to squeeze through small gaps. They trail their eight arms behind them as they swim. The siphon is used both for respiration and for locomotion, by expelling a jet of water. Octopuses have a complex nervous system and excellent sight, and are among the most intelligent and behaviourally diverse of all invertebrates. Octopuses inhabit various regions of the ocean, including coral reefs, pelagic waters, and the seabed; some live in the intertidal zone and others at abyssal depths."

Urban BJA: British Journal of Anaesthesia, Volume 87, Issue 1, 1 June 2001, Pages 3–11, https://doi.org/10.1093/bja/87.1.3Published: 01 July 2001Views PDF Cite Share Abstract Br J Anaesth 2001; 87: 3–11Issue Section: Article One of the cardinal features of inflammatory states is that normally innocuous stimuli produce pain. Since the publication of the Melzack–Wall gate control theory in 1965, 45 it has been widely appreciated that the nervous system exhibits a range of responses according to different conditions (‘neural plasticity’). Subsequent research has characterized the mechanisms by which these changes occur and highlighted the importance of environmental factors on perception of pain. This review focuses on key peripheral mechanisms that result in the hypersensitivity state that accompanies inflammation. Recent studies are described which characterize a series of receptors, ion channels and transmitters involved in inflammatory pain. The mechanisms by which inflammatory mediators interact with neurones to produce hypersensitivity are also explored. The process of pain In clinical settings it may be useful to identify several broad processes as being associated with pain: nociception, pain perception and a number of secondary consequences including suffering and pain behaviour. 38 Under this schema, nociception may be defined as the detection of noxious stimuli and the subsequent transmission of encoded information to the brain. In contrast, pain is essentially a perceptual process that arises in response to such activity (see Figure 1 ). Symptoms and signs arising from normal tissues exposed to high intensity stimuli generally reflect the intensity, localization and timing of the initiating stimuli."

"text": "\"Fun Fish Fodder, Human Health Issues Top 5 Most Poisonous and Venomous Fish!Posted by dksackett on November 18, 2013By Dana Sackett Many TV shows and nature guides have been dedicated to educating the public on the most poisonous and venomous spiders, snakes and even frogs, but what about fish? Unlike spiders or snakes, we rarely hear about which fish are the most poisonous (or venomous). This week we are dedicating our blog post to these hazardous fish. ( Cooney)First though let’s clarify some terminology. Poisonous and venomous are terms often used interchangeably but they have different meanings. A venomous animal has a means of injecting their toxin into another animal, whereas a poisonous animal can only deliver their toxin in a more passive manner (by being touched or eaten). A common example given to clarify this difference is that frogs are poisonous while snakes are venomous. It is also important to note that the affects from a venomous fish sting can often be relieved by immersing the wound in hot water (~105–115F) because these toxins are heat labile (meaning they can be destroyed or altered by heat).1. Pufferfish (some species are also called toadfish) have been given the title ‘Most Poisonous Fish’ and have also been labeled the second most poisonous vertebrate in the world. The toxin responsible for ranking this fish so high in the “danger zone” is called tetrodotoxin."

Neurotoxic seafood poisoning most often occurs following consumption of fish and shellfish. Almost 25% of food poisoning in the United Stated between 1978 and 1982 were from fish or shellfish chemical poisoning. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and neurological manifestations are common. Knowing where the fish or shellfish was caught can often aid in establishing the diagnosis. However, refrigerated transport of seafood now complicates the assessment. While evaluating patients with seafood poisoning with neurological symptoms, health care providers must consider other etiologies as well.

Sure, some people may think these are delicacies, and puffer fish is certainly treated as such in parts of Asia. But each dish has something more important in common: they are all deadly. Each of these animals is chock full of a powerful neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin. First isolated from the puffer fish, tetrodotoxin is among the most potent toxins known. It is 100 times as toxic by weight as potassium cyanide — two milligrams can kill an adult human — and it is not destroyed by cooking.

It puffs up two times its size and also releases a toxin called tetrodotoxin. This toxin makes a very unpleasant smell and not a good meal for the predator. Tetrodotoxin is present in the liver, blood, muscle tissue, ovaries, and intestine. If a human should eat puffer fish meat they would be poisoned and taken to the hospital. REPRODUCTION: The puffer fish has a unique reproduction method. The females lay eggs at the shore after the males have pushed them to a certain place. These are spherical in shape and usually float on the surface because of their weight. The babies usually hatch within a week. The larvae are covered in a shell that breaks within a few days and the larvae develops fins, teeth, and all necessary parts."

TANG, Research Officer, Risk Assessment Section, Centre for Food Safety Summary of Incident In March 2007, a food poisoning outbreak was reported in Zhanjiang in Guangdong province with one patient died after the consumption of a toxic goby, Yongeichthys criniger. Y. criniger, a member of the Gobiidae family, is one of the few gobies that develop a powerful poison called tetrodotoxin, which also occurs in some puffers. This toxic goby looks similar to another member of the Gobiidae family, edible mudskippers for example Boleophthalmus pectinirostris which is a very common non-toxic food fish species in China. Therefore some people initially thought that the fish poisoning was caused by the consumption of mudskipper. Tetrodotoxin-containing goby species are rarely found in Hong Kong. None of the food fish species of goby available in the local market have been reported to contain tetrodotoxin. What is Tetrodotoxin? Tetrodotoxin is a potent marine neurotoxin, named after the order Tetraodontiformes with which it is commonly associated. Puffer fish (see illustrations) and porcupine fish are common examples of fish containing tetrodotoxin under this order. Tetrodotoxin has also been isolated from other animal species including goby, shellfish, California newt, parrotfish, frogs of the genus Atelopus, the blue-ringed octopus, starfish, angelfish, and xanthid crabs."

There has been some evidence to show that higher doses might produce more significant improvements in ALS patients but at almost £6 (US$10) per tablet it is at risk of being prohibitively expensive given the modest benefit to patients. One study in the Netherlands found that riluzole is metabolized differently by males and females, and its levels in plasma are decreased in patients who smoke cigarettes or take omeprazole.

They are invertebrates, meaning that they lack a spine. Horseshoe crabs live primarily in and around shallow ocean waters on soft sandy or muddy bottoms. They occasionally come onto shore to mate. They are commonly used as bait and in fertilizer. In recent years, population declines have occurred as a consequence of coastal habitat destruction in Japan and overharvesting along the east coast of North America. Tetrodotoxin may be present in the roe of species inhabiting the waters of Thailand. [ 2]Because of their origin 450 million years ago, horseshoe crabs are considered living fossils.

[ 2] [3] They grow to 7–75 cm (2.8 in–2 ft 5.5 in) long. Their distinctive first dorsal fins take the form of a modified oval, sucker-like organ with slat-like structures that open and close to create suction and take a firm hold against the skin of larger marine animals. [ 4] The disk is made up of stout, flexible membranes that can be raised and lowered to generate suction. [ 5] By sliding backward, the remora can increase the suction, or it can release itself by swimming forward. Remoras sometimes attach to small boats, and have been observed attaching to divers as well. They swim well on their own, with a sinuous, or curved, motion."

However, before getting to the question, I think it’s worth investing a few minutes to frame this discussion around a theme tightly linked to it — sugar. If you’ve been following the nutrition news lately, you may have noticed that Dr. Rob Lustig has made some headlines. If you’ll recall, Dr. Lustig is arguably the world’s expert on fructose (i.e., fruit sugar) metabolism, and I included a link to his now-gone-viral You Tube video on fructose toxicity from 2+ years ago in my post, Sugar 101 . In the February 2 nd issue of the journal Nature, Dr. Lustig and his two colleagues make the following case: Sugar consumption is linked to the dramatic rise in obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease (i.e., the diseases that cluster around metabolic syndrome ). Effectively, sugar speeds up our aging process. The metabolic effect of sugar, and fructose in particular (fructose makes up half of sugar – sucrose is 50% glucose, 50% fructose; HFCS is 45% glucose, 55% fructose), is nearly identical to that of ethanol (drinking alcohol). As such, sugar should be regulated in a manner commensurate with the damage it causes. Let me lay out a few facts. First, our consumption of sugar is increasing at a staggering rate."

"text": "Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning This information is courtesy of Lora E. Fleming, NIEHS Marine and Freshwater Biomedical Sciences Center Background PSP is a marine toxin disease with both gastrointestinal and neurologic symptoms reported worldwide. It is caused predominantly by the consumption of contaminated shellfish. Gonyaulacoid dinoflagellates are the source of PSP marine toxins. These unicellular dinoflagellates develop algal blooms throughout the world for unknown reasons, although a variety of factors have been studied, including change in weather, upwellings, temperature, turbulence, salinity, and transparency. However, significant epidemics of PSP can occur in humans in the absence of a known red tide (Rodrigue et al. 1990). These dinoflagellates produce at least 12 toxins which are tetrahydropurines, and heat and acid stable. Saxitoxin was the first characterized and the best understood. The major transvector for PSP are the bivalve molluscs (mussels, clams, oysters, with the Alaskan butterclam having the highest concentrations) (Sommer & Meyer 1937). PSP toxins are also found in certain crabs and snails which feed on coral reef seaweed."

A recent report on toxicity found that initial symptoms may occur up to 20 hours after ingestion. Initial symptoms include lip and tongue paresthesias, followed by facial and extremity paresthesias and numbness. Salivation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea with abdominal pain develop early. Motor dysfunction with weakness, hypoventilation (may be from dysfunction of central and peripheral nervous systems), and speech difficulties then develop. A rapid ascending paralysis occurs over 4-24 hours. Extremity paralysis precedes bulbar paralysis, which is followed by respiratory muscle paralysis. Deep tendon reflexes are preserved early in the course of paralysis. Finally, cardiac dysfunction with hypotension and dysrhythmias (bradycardia), central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction (eg, coma), and seizures develop. Patients with severe toxicity may have deep coma, fixed nonreactive pupils, apnea, and loss of all brain stem reflexes."

Species Name: Sphoeroides testudineus Linnaeus 1758Common Names: Checkered Puffer Botete Sapo (Spanish) Tamboríl Rayado (Spanish)Synonomy: Tetraodon testudineus Linnaeus 1758Species Description: The checkered puffer, Sphoeroides testudineus, is one of several fish species in Florida belonging to the family Tetradontidae, meaning \"\"four teeth\"\". Puffers have four tooth plates arranged in quadrants, with two teeth on the bottom and two on the top (Carpenter 2002). These teeth form a strong, heavy beak capable of cracking through hard prey such as mollusks and crustaceans. Puffers are named for their ability to swell by swallowing water or air when threatened. They have no spinous dorsal fin, absent or reduced scales, sandpapery denticles on various areas of the body, and a reduced gill opening. Identification of species is determined in part through color, pattern, and the presence and number of spines and fleshy tabs, or lappets, on the skin (Robins & Ray 1986). The checkered puffer is pale tan to yellowish with a polygonal or square network of lines centered around a bulls-eye pattern on the midback in front of the dorsal fin. Lines are dark gray to olive, with small, dark brown spots on cheeks and lower sides."

Cows like to sleep close to their families Sleeping arrangements are determined by their position in the social hierarchy. There are approximately 920 different breeds of cows in the world. Cows where thought to have been domesticated approximately 5000 years ago. Cows have incredible senses: they have near panoramic vision, can detect odours up to five miles away and they can hear low and high frequency sounds better than humans. For clarity lets firstly establish the definitions. A cow is an adult female, a baby is called a calf and a female who has not yet had a calf is called an heifer and a bull is an adult male. Collectively they are called cattle. However it is quite common for people to refer to cattle as cows regardless of the above classifications and for ease of writing I will occasionally do likewise when referring to cattle in general terms. Recently, as we walked along the foot path near to a field in the Northumbrian hills we could hear the dull sound of distant explosions, army manoeuvres I knew, but nonetheless the noise was unsettling."

Madagascar’s unique habitats are facing numerous threats, but deforestation is among the most serious, with experts saying that the island has already lost 90% of its original forest cover. New finds since 1999 include 385 plants, 42 invertebrates, 17 fish, 69 amphibians, 61 reptiles and 41 mammals. Treasure Island: New biodiversity in Madagascar, a WWF report compiling discoveries made in one decade shows the immense diversity of the natural wealth on the world’s fourth largest island, but offers one more dramatic reminder of the increasing threats to this fragile environment. “ This report shows once again how unique and irreplaceable the different ecosystems in Madagascar hosting all these different species are”, says Nanie Ratsifandrihamanana, WWF Madagascar’s Conservation Director. “ WWF works every day to establish a representative protected area network and to promote sustainable livelihood alternatives to allow people in Madagascar to live in harmony with the natural world surrounding them”. Although just found, many of the species, including Berthe’s Mouse Lemur, are already endangered due to rapidly progressing environmental degradation, driven mainly by deforestation. The magnificent Tahina Palm (Tahina spectabilis), a massive fan palm which flowers only once in a lifetime with a spectacular, giant inflorescence that forms from the centre of the crown, is undoubtedly among the most exciting scientific discoveries. After fruiting, the palm dies and collapses. But for all those who know Madagascar thanks to its famous lemurs, one of the planet’s most charismatic animals, the discovery of the Berthe’s Mouse Lemur (Microcebus berthae) in 2000 was the most exciting news."

By every measure, marriage wins over staying single or living without ceremony with another individual. Married people live longer, stay physically and mentally healthier, are kinder to each other, and are less likely to abuse one another. They experience less physical pain, feel more secure, make more money, retire with more assets, and are more likely to say they are happy with their lives than their cohorts who have stayed out of formal marriage or been divorced. Similarly, the children of marriages are healthier, happier, smarter, safer, and contribute more to the rest of society. 1You may find it strange, but living with another individual without the ceremony provides almost none of those advantages.

"text": "\"The Fear of Godby Wilhelmus A'Brakel The Word Fear Defined Fear is either expressive of reverence or terror. Fear as terror is generally expressed by the Hebrew words magor, and pacadh, and by the Greek word phobos. Fear as being reverence is denominated in Hebrew as yirah, and in Greek as eulabeia. However, these words are occasionally also used without this distinction. Fear issues forth from love —either for ourselves or for God. Self-love engenders fear when something occurs which could deprive us of something good or whereby some evil could befall us. We fear deprivation, or the evil itself, and whatever or whoever would deprive us of that which is good, or whereby evil could be inflicted upon us. God has created self-love in man and wills that we make use of it. The law requires that we love our neighbor as ourselves (Mat 22:39). It is therefore not sinful to fear deprivation and evil."

By Sean Cunningham Cats are mysterious creatures—cuddly and affectionate one minute, irritated and aloof the next. The ability to read your feline’s body language will help you better understand his seemingly bizarre behavior. Certified cat behavior consultants Pam Johnson-Bennett, author of Think Like a Cat ($18, amazon.com ), and Mieshelle Nagelschneider of The Cat Behavior Clinic offer their insights into what your precious kitty is communicating. Head Butting When a ram smashes his skull into another ram, he isn't announcing to the world, “I like you!” But for cats, a knock of the noggin (referred to as “bunting” or “allorubbing”) is a sign of fondness. “ Cats will physically use their heads to show affection,” says Johnson-Bennett, adding that felines may seem to “head butt” you with their foreheads and chins to demonstrate their amorous feelings and to leave their scent as a form of communication and identification Blinking Cats can also express their affection for you without making physical contact. “ Slow, relaxed eye blinks are often referred to as cat kisses,” Johnson-Bennett says. These long blinks indicate Fluffy is happy and relaxed. Tail Up If your cat greets you with her tail held high, she’s giving you a warm welcome. “"

To a large extent, it determines the essence of the person born under this sign: such people are reliable and dislike frequent changes of scenery. However, only those who don’t discern what the nature of a person is can say that the Taurus is inactive or sluggish. Quiet and peaceful, Tauruses can’t stand pressing or coercion. Allocated with inflexible obstinacy, they stand their ground to the bitter end. This charming robust fellow is considered to be the most mercantile among all the zodiac signs.

Basically, going green means to live life, as an individual as well as a community, in a way that is friendly to the natural environmental and is sustainable for the earth. It means contributing towards maintaining the natural ecological balance in the environment, and preserving the planet and its natural systems and resources. It also means taking steps, whether big or small, to minimize the harm you do to the environment (including the carbon footprints you leave behind), as a result of inhabiting this planet. In practice, going green means adopting five basic principles in your daily life:reduce pollutionconserve resourcesconserve energyreduce consumption and wasteprotect the earth’s ecological balance All five principles are important in protecting the environment from harm, as well as helping to ensure that living (for humans and other creatures) on earth is sustainable. So in your daily life, do adopt green practices under all principles, to make a difference. What does going green mean: Reduce pollution What does going green mean in practice is to reduce pollution, or the release of toxic substances into the environment. In our day-to-day activities, we actually release substantial amount of toxic substances into the environment."

"text": "Stingrays: Dangerous or Not?by B. N. Sullivan Our previous pictorial post about a dive site in the Cayman Islands called Stingray City generated a lot of interest, and quite a few questions about stingrays. We decided to tell our readers some more about these interesting marine animals. Stingrays are found in warmer waters around the world. Stingrays are Elasmobranchs - a classification of fishes that include sharks and other kinds of rays, like Mantas and Eagle Rays. Elasmobranchs differ from other fishes in that their skeletons are made of cartilage rather than bone. There are many species of stingray. The species pictured on this page, and in our photo essay about Stingray City, is the Southern Stingray ( Dasyatis americana ). It can be found in the warmer latitudes of the Western Atlantic, and throughout the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. They are found most often in relatively shallow waters where there are sandy bottoms, because that is where they find their food. The diet of these creatures consists of small animals that live in the sand - mostly shellfish, small crustaceans and worms."

"text": "\" [an error occurred while processing this directive]The Meaning of the Crystal Sea Scripture, we are often told, should be allowed to interpret scripture. More often than not, this statement is immediately followed by a chain of out-of-context quotations used to arrive at a preconceived point of Biblical exegesis. Nowhere is this phenomenon more apparent than in the field of Biblical eschatology. Thousands of years of dubious hermeneutics has resulted in numberless doomsday scenarios, all having in common just one simple theme - all have failed to come true. There are, however, quite legitimate occasions when an older text can illuminate a difficult section. This is the basis of the scholarly field of source criticism, which seeks to understand a text by reference to its sources. Source criticism notes, of course, that care must be taken to ensure that the two passages being linked do indeed have a source relationship. There is one particular piece of text that has long puzzled armchair exegetes of all stripes. The marvelous book of Revelation, so filled with wonder and mystery, contains a number of very curious scenes. One of these occurs at the beginning of the book, when John is first taken up to Heaven to see God."

Did the Serpent Originally Have Legs?by Bodie Hodge on January 26, 2010Audio Version Share: Determining features of the serpent from the precious little information given in the Bible is a difficult task. Shop Now Picture by Bodie Hodge Perhaps one of the most-asked and most-debated topics is the serpent’s original appearance. The model of the serpent here at the Answers in Genesis Creation Museum exhibit just outside of Cincinnati, Ohio, is pictured below to consider. Determining features of the serpent from the precious little information given in the Bible is a difficult task, and there is considerable speculation in this area. For example, we can speculate about what color and patterns were on the serpent’s exterior, what shape of eyes did the serpent have, and so on. What Does the Bible Say? Even the question of legs on the serpent is one with varying speculation. Consider the biblical text to see what it says of the serpent: Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die."

"text": "The Mystical Unicorn Of Scotland What says 'magic' more loudly than choosing the mystical and powerful Unicorn of Scotland as the country's National Animal? A country's 'National Animal' should represent the best, and defining, qualities of the nation who chose it. Scots have a strong sentimental streak under that practical and reserved exterior, and Scottish culture is rich in superstitions, myths and legends. So, choosing a heraldic symbol as awe-inspiring as the unicorn makes perfect sense!Chances are you don't know too much about this fantastic creature, so let's start there. ( But if you want to jump straight to how, when & why it was chosen CLICK HERE)Unicorns Abound In History & Legend The stories and legends surrounding the Unicorn go about as far back in history as the human race. These beautiful creatures were worshiped by the ancient Babylonians, and written descriptions of them appear throughout ancient history, and as early as the first century AD. In the 5th Century AD, interpretation of a passage in the Hebrew Old Testament described an animal that scholars believed was a Unicorn. This may be the beginning of their association with Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary, which is the basis for the legends that claimed only a Virgin could tame the Unicorn. It could also explain the Unicorn's popularity in Christian Art, particularly during the Middle Ages. Unicorns were seen in the early writings and drawings of many different countries and cultures, including Greece, Persia (now Iran), Egypt, India and Africa."

This security measure will help the BMV combat fraud by providing time to verify applicant information before a permanent credential is issued. What happens after I provide my source documents to branch employees? In the central issuance process, the BMV verifies your identity and lawful status and confirms that you do not already hold a credential in your name or another name, and that your driving privileges are not suspended (if applicable). The license branch employee will take your documents, electronically scan them and then return the original documents to you before you leave the license branch. The scanned documents will then be reviewed by BMV employees before your permanent credential is mailed to you. Do other states use this new procedure?"

"text": "Replacing the traditional provider enrollment (credentialing) model with delegated credentialing can decrease denials, practice disruptions, and internal referral roadblocks. In this month’s Journal of the Healthcare Billing and Management Associatio n, we discuss the advantages of delegated credentialing for ACOs, IPAs, and patient-centered medical homes. What is Delegated Credentialing? Delegated credentialing is the process by which a health plan (or any other entity responsible for credentialing) agrees to turn over a portion of their credentialing review process to a qualified entity and must provide oversight over the delegate for ongoing adherence to program requirements. Delegated credentialing involves three key components. The delegation agreement outlines the responsibilities of both the plan and the delegated entity, the assessment and evaluation of the credentialing program provides the plan all information required to determine whether the proposed entity meets plan standards and ongoing oversight insures that the delegated entity continues to operate in a compliant manner. The delegation process is repeated with each plan. Some plans will delegate immediately upon review and approval of the entity’s program and others will request that the program operate for a period of time prior to granting delegation. Plans will want to see how providers have moved through the group’s process and how outliers are reviewed. They will review policies & procedures related to credentialing and minutes from committee meetings."

"text": "\"Articles > Personal Finance > Financial Advisor Credentials Are Misleading Financial Advisor Credentials Are Misleading Even if you know what a CFP is, you probably don't know what an advisor does to earn the designation. And CFP is a common credential, unlike most of the 100-plus designations that most consumers have never heard of. In general, legitimate credentials prove that an advisor is furthering his or her education; with the rules and regulations of finance changing nearly every day, current information and knowledge is crucial. But having credentials doesn't make someone worthy of being your advisor, a conclusion I draw from personal experience. In June 1995, I was one of five journalists who took the two-day, 10-hour exam for becoming a Certified Financial Planner. It was a media ploy by the folks who administer the CFP standard; even if we had passed the test, we would not have qualified as CFPs. I did not study for the test and did not expect to pass, nor did I want to; I would have lost all respect for both the test and the group if I could ace the exam without formal training. None of the journalists passed. What I learned was not how tough the test was, but rather that the mark of CFP -- a standard I have tremendous respect for -- does not make someone a great financial planner. It proves technical proficiency, the ability to analyze a portfolio and make appropriate suggestions, but it gives no insight into the advisor's \"\"relationship skills.\"\""

The insurance credentialing process is what each provider or facility must go through in order to become a participating provider with a particular insurance company. The goal of the insurance credentialing process is to become in-network and prevent your patients from having claims go towards their out-of-network deductible. The credentialing process starts by making a request to join the insurance company’s network and submit your information to them. Most of the large insurance companies utilize CAQH to access your license, DEA, CV, W9, etc. Once this request has been submitted, the payer typically takes about 30 days to review your information and determine if they wish to proceed with the credentialing process. If they do wish to proceed, you’ll be notified that your application is in process and potentially be asked to submit additional information. This is the stage where the payer (insurance company) validates your information and ensures you are who you say you are. Once through this initial validation process, you then move transition into the contracting phase. The initial credentialing process (data validation) typically takes around 90 days for most commercial payers."

As a special educator you'll get to know and understand truly unique disorders and disabilities and learn an appreciation for all people. It's a role that provides an uncommon opportunity to focus on the student and the learning process. By contrast, most educators focus on the content and delivery, which is part of what leads to such disparity in learning achievement. Special education services are delivered to students with disabilities from a wide variety of backgrounds. Many students will come from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds and many are English Language Learners. If you are interested in joining the many new teachers who are interested in teaching these diverse students, then special education is the path you may truly want to follow. Becoming a special education teacher - or rather, a special education specialist - in the state of California can be an extremely rewarding career.

You do this by having your education credentials assessed by recognized foreign credentials assessment services based here in Canada. For example, the website ( http://www.calgary.ca/CS/HR/Pages/Careers/International-and-Cross-Canada-Credentials.aspx) of the City of Calgary in Alberta states :” If you received your training and credentials outside of Canada, then you will probably need to obtain Canadian credentials, or a certificate which validates that your training is equivalent to that offered in Canada, in order to work within your professional field… The City of Calgary asks applicants to provide proof of qualifications, when offering them a position. When a candidate’s educational credentials are from outside of Canada, the candidate must provide proof of equivalent qualifications to those in Canada. ”There are several credentials assessment services in Canada. In Alberta, it is the International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS), a government unit under province’s Human Services of Employment and Immigration. For IQAS, the declared processing time is currently from 10-12 weeks, reckoned from the time they receive your complete documents. ( In our case, we got ours in about 5 weeks.) The cost of credentials assessment is not too steep."

You’re still at the office, scrambling to finish the initial credentialing applications for the new providers joining your practice. Your desk is covered with 2-inch-thick personnel files, but you’re still missing documentation for all three of the providers. The last time you spoke to Dr Smith, he was rifling through his attic for his MD diploma. Dr Miller can’t remember which CME course she took six months ago. And Dr White, who isn’t responding to your texts, calls, or emails, hasn’t finished his Delineation of Privileges form. Time’s running out, you’re exhausted, and in the back of your head, you’re wondering why your practice has to do all of this on paper. You’ve heard about credentialing software before, but it must be pretty expensive. Besides, there’s no way it could do everything you need – or else, why would you still be at the office? Sound like a nightmare?"

"text": "\"by Debbie Schwarzer, HSC Legal Team Who needs a work permit? Every child in California who is subject to compulsory education and who wishes to work (other than in babysitting and similar occasional jobs, working in a family business and a few other exempt categories) needs a work permit. Basically, that means that any child who is under 18 and who has not yet graduated from high school or passed the CHSPE (California High School Proficiency Exam) needs one. Who issues work permits? If your child is enrolled in a public school program (ISP or charter school), the school is responsible for handling work permits. Follow their procedures. If your child is in a private school satellite program (PSP), the PSP will issue the permit. In both of those cases, the administrator at the school who handles the issuance of work permits will be the one to decide if your child meets the school's requirements. If you've formed your own private school, your school can now issue a work permit if it follows the procedures described in this article. The law was changed effective January 2010 so that independently homeschooled children do not necessarily need to go to their local public high school to get a permit, thus correcting a situation where local officials who didn't care for homeschoolers could refuse to issue permits to them."

Babysitting is a great part-time work choice for young teenagers — most states won’t allow kids to work until they are a certain age, usually between 14 and 16 depending on the state. However, if you want your child to make a little extra money while learning work ethic and probably having a good time to boot, babysitting is a viable and legal career option. There is a consensus among people hiring babysitters that the minimum age is about 12. That’s the age at which a child seems able to handle emergencies by calling the proper authorities and to maintain some sense of authority. Every person hiring a babysitter will have different opinions on this. Let’s take a closer look at specific babysitting situations and determine what a good minimum age might be. Older Children If you are looking to babysit for older children, say from age 10 and up, you will want to be much older than the child."

Here are some tips you can use to find the correct age for babysitting. While most babysitters age is not questioned from the age of 16 upwards, they are considered to be responsible enough for looking after younger children and babies, the legal age for minors babysitting minors in each state can vary greatly. For example, in the state of Missouri, the legal age for babysitting is 11. Obviously you will have to determine whether or not the child is capable enough and asses their maturity level on an individual basis, especially within this particular age group. Many states do not actually specify a legal age for babysitters, but rather an age for minors being left home alone. In Illinois, it is considered to be neglect if a child under the age of 14 is left home without any supervision for a lengthy period of time. A mature age for babysitting may depend upon the sitter. Here are a few guidelines that you can use to ensure your baby is being well looked after, and that the legal requirements for childcare are being adhered to: Responsible Childcare Provider Age Guidelines Most childcare professionals and child services recommend that the age limit for children in charge of children should be 17 years old."

It should include parent emergency contact info, what to feed the baby, the baby's allergies, and other stuff you should know in case of an emergency.2 Make sure the baby is comfortable at all times. If the baby starts crying, check his or her diaper. If there is poop, or if the diaper is wet, the diaper needs to be changed. Get a fresh diaper before undoing the old one. To Change a diaper, get out baby wipes, a fresh diaper, and something to keep the baby occupied while you change it.

Two are older and easy to watch and the baby goes to sleep soon after a sitter comes. I think $6 is enough! Don't get out often though. Pay seems to really depend on your area.

Started by Kung Fu, Jun 18 2014 11:53 AMPlease log in to reply22 replies to this topic#1Kung Fu Posted 18 June 2014 - 11:53 AMAnyone have an idea of the going rate for high school babysitters? Would be night time babysitting of a 2 year old and 4 year old by a year 10 girl. It is the first time we've had someone of school age mind the kids and want to make sure we are not underpaying her as her suggestion of $10 per hour as the going rate among her friends seems pretty low. What do you think?#2missjones Posted 18 June 2014 - 12:01 PMI pay a year 11 student $15 ph (her parents drop her off and pick her up although I stay 'dry' so I can drive her home if needed) There is also a final year uni student i use who charges $20 ph. I don't mind the extra as she drives and it contributes to her petrol money. There is also the advantage that she can drive the girls if I need her to.#3Kung Fu Posted 18 June 2014 - 12:02 PMThat sounds more like it. By the way we pay uni students $20-$25 per hour.#4GGMum Posted 18 June 2014 - 01:06 PMUsually $10 an hour for night time babysitting by a yr 10 girl (we drop her home as well) but kids are always in bed before she even arrives so she usually just does homework and watches tv. Also have a uni student we have used occasionally, she gets $20 but both times we have used her she has had to put the kids to bed and also drives to our place, so a bit for petrol money. I think about $10-15 is fine for a high school aged babysitter, especially if the kids will be in bed most of the time anyway!"

Tiffany Smith March 30, 2018like (12) comments (10)In 2016, the average babysitter rate was nearly $14 per hour. Learn how to determine what you should charge based on three important factors. Image via Stocksy.com/ Hex. According to the 2017 Care.com Babysitter Survey, the average babysitting rate in 2016 was about $13.97 per hour -- which is up 26 percent from $11.11 per hour in 2010. However, the rates vary from city to city. For instance, San Jose, California has the highest rate in the country, at $16.68 per hour, while Youngstown, Ohio has the nation's lowest rate, at $11.81 per hour. How Much Should You Charge for Babysitting? Before you lock down your own babysitter rate, you'll first need to figure out what other babysitters typically charge families to watch their kids. One way to do this is by using a babysitting rates calculator to find out what the going babysitting rates are in your particular area."

Maybe Last week Business Insider (BI) ran a story about a Google engineer who \"\"blew off\"\" the offer of a $500,000 salary from a startup because he was already making $3 million a year, in salary and stock awards, at Google. The story came from an unnamed source, so who knows if it's really true. But, since I'm always interested in developers making really big bucks, this one caught my eye and made me wonder, how realistic is it that a Google engineer is making that much? Software developers making a million dollars or more per year are, certainly, unusual. Former Wall Street programmer Sergey Aleynikov famously made a million dollar salary as a true in-the-weeds code-writing developer, but a salary that high for a programmer is particularly unusual. According to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2012, the average salary for an application software developer was $93,000, with only 10% of such developers making more than $139,000 in salary. Clearly, then, any Google engineer making $3 million per year is getting most of that in bonuses and/or stock. But how much in non-salary compensation do Google engineers really make?"

Most commonly, when I do, it’s about psychics making claims that could be construed as medical claims, such as when America’s Quack, Dr. Mehmet Oz brought psychic scammers like John Edward and the “Long Island Medium” Theresa Caputo, even going so far as to imply that psychics can actually talk to the dead and that their act can even be therapeutic for grief. This time around, I’m learning of what is arguably the most despicable use of a psychic yet. It’s so bad that Susan Gerbic labeled this particular self-proclaimed psychic a “ grief vampire ,” and so he is. The psychic is, quite literally, the new kid on the block as far a psychics go; his name is Tyler Henry, and apparently the basic cable channel E! is really pushing a TV series featuring him, Hollywood Medium With Tyler Henry. His website describes him thusly: Tyler Henry (born January 13, 1996) is a teen clairvoyant medium oringally from central California. Born with a unique gift, Tyler has helped countless people acquire closure, comfort, and proof that consciousness transcends physical death. Working as an evidential-based medium, his ability to provide specific, detail-oriented specifics has allowed him to share what he sees with medical professionals and missing person cases. As Tyler’s grandmother was terminally ill with cancer in April of 2006, he began having strong intuitive hunches that would later turn into a series of profound visions that proved to be true."

A doctorate (from Latin docere, \"\"to teach\"\") or doctor's degree (from Latin doctor, \"\"teacher\"\") or doctoral degree (from the ancient formalism licentia docendi) is an academic degree awarded by universities that is, in most countries, a research degree that qualifies the holder to teach at the university level in the degree's field, or to work in a specific profession. There are a variety of doctoral degrees, with the most common being the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph D), which is awarded in many different fields, ranging from the humanities to the scientific disciplines. In the United States and some other countries, there are also some types of vocational, technical, or professional degrees that are referred to as doctorates in their home countries, though they are not technically doctoral level as they are not research degrees and no defense of any dissertation or thesis is performed. Internationally, however, the use of doctor to refer to these degrees is not universally accepted.

Dr. Romer is generally considered to have the inside track to replace Janet Yellen as President of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank when Dr. Yellen moves to become Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. There is a lot of press speculation about why Dr. Romer is leaving and about why Budget Director Peter Orszag left. This speculation centers on the personalities and interactions among various members of the President’s economic team. I think I can instead add a little value by describing the different positions that make up the President’s economic team, and in particular by explaining the roles of the heads of the National Economic Council and the Council of Economic Advisers. The NEC is run by Dr. Larry Summers, while Dr. Romer is the outgoing CEA Chair. White House staff Let’s begin with some formal organization that is broader than just the economic team.

Dr. Phil is in your face and confrontational, which is sometimes funny, but you never doubt just whose side he is on in any given case - and you never doubt that the other part in the case is a horrible and guilty person. There are no shades of gray on Dr. Phil's show - which is strange, as the man has an education in psychology. However, Dr. Phil may actually prove harmful sometimes. As it often is with media, he simply holds too much sway over people - he gives an opinion and millions of viewers cry out in agreement without the hassle of researching the subject. Not only harmful to the individuals, that Dr. Phil targets, it seems to also help undermine people's trust in actual authority, like the law (which, by no means is perfect or anywhere near that, but it is still a harmful influence that really doesn't help as it is often without real substance, just full of emotions)."

But since we’ve been out of residency, he’s settled two lawsuits and had another quality investigation. My Medical Staff Office tells me I won’t be able to get him credentialed. He’s a great guy and was a fantastic doctor as a resident. Shouldn’t I be able to hire who I want? I used to think of credentialing as a rubber stamping process – more of a warm welcome than a skills assessment. I avoided this committee like the plague out of fear of publicly falling asleep at a meeting. The rationale back then was that each doc had been vetted numerous times throughout their life and if the chairman wanted to hire them – particularly if they were full time nights – they should be able to do so without interference. If they’re bad, we have malpractice insurance that will protect the group and then we can fire the doc down the line. At some point over the last 5-10 years, my opinion on the importance of credentialing shifted dramatically."

An MRI machine is a magnetic resonance imaging machine, which uses magnetic fields to create two- and three-dimensional images of parts of a patient's body to help with treatment and diagnosis. An MRI technician is responsible for operating an MRI machine to conduct tests on patients. [ 1]First off, you will need a great deal of technical knowledge to operate an MRI machine. You need a thorough understanding of how the technology works as you'll be operating the machine and may be responsible for detecting any problems a hospital's MRI machine might display. [ 2]In addition to technical knowledge, a good MRI technician will also have good people skills. You will have to instruct patients how to position themselves to use the machine and keep patients engaged throughout a scan. Scans can take up to 90 minutes to complete and patients getting MRIs are often nervous or distressed, so good bedside manner is a necessary component to a good MRI technician. [ 3]The job is physically demanding. You will be on your feet and operating machinery for long hours and also may need to lift and fit patients on the machine if they're mobility impaired."

Dental radiographs are one of the most important tools a dentist uses to diagnose teeth and oral tissue problems. Because operating dental X-ray equipment and using various dental radiograph techniques can be complex, dental assistants must be certified to perform this critical aspect of their job. The median annual wages of dental assistants in May 2008 were $32,380, according to the U. S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. X-ray Training Many dental assistants gain dental radiograph training as part of broader dental assisting diploma programs that last six to 15 months or as part of two-year associate degree programs in dental assisting, according to Education-Portal.com. These programs teach students other skills, such as how to assist with dental procedures and perform lab duties, as well. Students who complete dental assisting programs that feature X-ray training should make sure their program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association to be eligible to take an X-ray certification exam. Some schools also offer programs that feature a state-approved course specifically on dental radiography to help students meet dental licensure state requirements. X-ray Exam In most states, dental assistants must pass the radiation safety certification exam available through the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB). In addition, they must complete 100 continuing education hours each year to maintain their certification."

The Ultrasound Technician: A Closer Look There are numerous medical imaging techniques used to diagnose and treat health disorders and abnormalities, including X-rays, MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging) and ultrasounds. Sonographers use imaging equipment that non-invasively emits sound waves directed towards internal organs, blood vessels, tissues and other structures. An ultrasound technician job description entails using this specialized technology but can also include interpreting these images and assisting the rest of the healthcare team. Ultrasound technician job duties vary across specialties, from monitoring the development of a fetus in utero to evaluating the passage of blood throughout a patient’s vascular system.

QUICK FACTS: Chiari Malformation 1-Page Fact Sheet (PDF) (Updated 4/2016)What is Chiari? A Chiari malformation (CM) is a structural defect in the area of the brain responsible for controlling balance i.e., the cerebellum. Specifically, when a portion of the cerebellum, known as the cerebellar tonsils, is situated under the funnel shaped opening to the spinal canal (i.e. the foramen magnum), it is known as a Chiari malformation. The cerebellar tonsils can interfere with the movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) between the skull and spinal canal. The interference can result in the collection of cerebral spinal fluid in the subarachnoid spaces of the brain and spine. The resulting increase in pressure on the brain and spinal cord from the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid can lead to hydrocephalus which manifests in a wide range of symptoms. By contrast, for people without Chiari, the cerebellum is situated above the foramen magnum and within the base of the skull i.e. the posterior fossa. An abnormality in the shape or size of a part of the skull pushes the cerebellum down resulting in Chiari. The aberration in shape or size of the skull is related to exposure to hazardous substances, infection, illegal drug or alcohol use, genetic mutations or a maternal diet deficient in certain nutrients."

"text": "Kidney Cancer Health Guide Disease Reference More The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped, fist-sized organs below the rib cage in the back of the abdomen. One sits on each side of the spine. They filter waste products, excess water, and salt from the blood. These organs regulate the body’s balance of fluids and minerals such as potassium and sodium. They also produce hormones that monitor blood pressure and regulate the production of red blood cells. Patients whose kidneys have failed or don’t work well generally need dialysis or a kidney transplant. During dialysis, a machine takes on the job of filtering waste products from the blood. Kidney cancer occurs when abnormal kidney cells grow and divide uncontrollably. The cells invade and destroy the normal kidney tissue, and they can spread (metastasize) to other organs. Even if a person has kidney cancer, their kidneys may still function normally."

There are two types of stents [ 1] -- so-called bare metal stents and stents coated with medication -- and they are surgically placed by specialized cardiologists as part of a procedure called an angioplasty. Typical costs: Look for separate charges from the hospital, doctors and laboratory. For patients without health insurance, total costs are typically $11,000-$41,000 or more, depending on the type of stent and length of hospital stay. Legacy Health, an operator of hospitals and clinics in Portland, OR, charges $11,298-$36,221 for an average heart stent placement surgery; the company reported an average charge of $36,221. At Aurora Sinai Medical Center [ 2] in Wisconsin, placement of one cardiac stent that is coated with long-release medication to prevent scar tissue from reclogging the artery carries a median hospital charge of $41,228, according estimates from the Wisconsin Hospital Association. Costs for patients with insurance [ 3] may include a deductible, plus 10%-20% of the total bill for the procedure. In addition, hospitals often accept amounts less than their charge as payment in full from patients with health insurance plans that have negotiated lower rates, or from the government's Medicare program for elderly and some disabled Americans and its Medicaid program for the poor. Charges are typically higher than the actual rate the hospital collects. Hospital bills include charges for estimated room and board, related medical supplies and medications, nursing care, equipment use, meals/nutrition and other services provided within the hospital."

The images are known as sonograms or ultrasounds. Sonograms are often the first imaging tests performed when disease is suspected. Diagnostic sonography uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the inside of the body. The sonographer uses an instrument called an ultrasound transducer to scan parts of the patient's body that are being examined."

Some of these reasons will be discussed, along with a historical account of the field of MRI and how this modality has evolved to include many aspects of molecular and functional imaging. After reading this article, nuclear medicine technologists should be able to provide an overview of the history of MRI, discuss PET and how it is mainly used today melded to CT as PET/CT, discuss how MRI is used diagnostically, explain how PET technology and MRI technology are able to function simultaneously together as PET/MRI, discuss some issues concerning who will operate these new units, and discuss the possibility that PET/MRI could be the blended technology of choice in the future. Keywordspositron emission tomography computed tomographymagnetic resonance imaging PET/MR imaging In the beginning, there was a chemical identification technology known as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This technology was in the form of tabletop units, which were standard issue in research organic chemistry laboratories. Essentially, researchers discovered that by putting organic chemicals in a strong magnetic field, hydrogen atoms would orient themselves along the strong magnetic field. When this magnetic field was switched off, hydrogen atoms would relax back to their equilibrium state and in the process give off a radiofrequency energy signal."

Background Information: What are the other Names for the Procedure? Radioactive Iodine Uptake (RAIU)Thyroid Nuclear Scan Thyroid Nuclear Uptake What is Thyroid Scan and Uptake radiology procedure? ( General Explanation)Thyroid Scan and Uptake procedure is a type of nuclear medicine imaging technique that is used to measure the thyroid function The thyroid gland is located in the neck area and produces hormones, which controls the metabolism of the body and affects multiple organ systems Small amounts of radioactive materials are used during this procedure In general, nuclear medicine detects molecular activity within the body, which helps identify various diseases, such as cancers, heart diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, neurological disorders, or endocrine diseases What part of the Body does the Procedure involve? The thyroid gland (located in the neck) is involved during the scan and uptake procedure. Why is the Thyroid Scan and Uptake radiology procedure Performed? The thyroid scan is performed to diagnose a variety of medical conditions and to determine the size and position of the thyroid gland. The thyroid uptake procedure is used to determine the function of thyroid gland. The procedure can help in: Diagnosing hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid cancers Detecting the presence of lumps and nodules in the gland, and to determine if the nodule is benign or malignant Thyroid cancer patients often get a whole-body scan to determine metastasis of thyroid cancer to other parts of the body What is the Equipment used? ( Description of Equipment)The following equipment may be used in the Thyroid Scan and Uptake procedure: Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and gamma camera for imaging Gamma cameras are able to detect radiation emitted from the patient’s body after radioactive material is administered to the patient."

This part of the body is called the pelvic area. Structures inside and near the pelvis include the bladder, prostate and other male reproductive organs, female reproductive organs, lymph nodes, and pelvic bones. An MRI does not use radiation. Single MRI images are called slices. The images are stored on a computer or printed on film. One exam produces dozens or sometimes hundreds of images.

STORY HIGHLIGHTSMost frequent flyer program members who have elite status are exempt from baggage fees Some airlines waive fees just for having airline-branded card Travel experts expect more perks from other airline-branded cards in the future Southwest is only major domestic airline that does not charge to check two bags RELATED TOPICSAir Travel Randy Petersen Tim Winship U. S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (CNN) -- As airlines continue to rack up checked-bag revenue, it seems like only those fliers who ship their bags or lug their carry-ons through the airport can avoid paying costly baggage fees. The airline industry pulled in $769 million in baggage fees from January to March alone, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. But some travelers have been able to avoid contributing to those figures, and more might be able to do the same, thanks to airline loyalty programs and credit cards. Most frequent flyer program members who have elite status are exempt from baggage fees, for example. Elite status is reached by earning a designated amount of miles within a frequent flyer program. With the status comes a package of benefits, including upgrades and priority boarding and check-in. \"\" Free baggage has become a standard benefit associated with attaining elite status,\"\" said Tim Winship, editor at large of smartertravel.com and the editor and publisher of frequentflier.com. Delta Sky Miles is one of these programs. \"\" All of our Sky Miles Medallion customers can check up to two bags free,\"\" Delta spokesman Paul Skrbec said."

"text": "How Delta’s Free Checked Baggage Works (No Coupon Needed! ) You are here: Home / How Delta's Free Checked Baggage Works (No Coupon Needed! ) by Credit Card Forum Staff Q: How does Delta Airline’s benefit of getting your first checked bags for free work? I know you have to get the credit card but then what, do they send you coupons or something? A: The process is quite simple. No coupon or promo code is even required to secure this benefit. Since your Sky Miles Frequent Flyer and American Express Delta credit card accounts are already linked, all you must do is provide your Sky Miles number when booking your flight and the checked luggage fee waiver will automatically be applied. So whenever you book subsequent reservations online at Delta.com or by telephone your Sky Miles number in the system will automatically identify you as being a Delta Skymiles cardmember and hence, you’ll receive the benefit. This perk may be better than you think When you see the commercials for the card, they say you get your first checked bag for free. That’s obviously true, but in a 30 second commercial they don’t always have time to explain this to you: Up to 9 passengers on the same reservation qualify – Here’s the fine print straight from the horse’s mouth…So that means yourself plus up to 8 additional people – if booked under the same reservation – can get their first checked bags for free with the allowance."

( Hint: when it involves baggage fees. ) By Tim Leffel On September 29, 2015 5 Comments I fly a lot between the USA and Mexico and each time I need to go through customs and get my passport stamped. According to American Airlines though, flying to Mexico does not constitute an international flight when it comes to one allowed checked bag. Well, it sort of does, but only if you fly to certain cities. Here’s exactly how an American rep answered my inquiry asking for clarity. For coach travel on American Airlines between the U. S. and Mexico (except Guadalajara, Leon, Mexico City and Monterrey), customers may check one bag for $25 and a second bag for $40 each way within the size and weight limitations. Confusion Means More Fees What this accomplishes, of course, is confusing the hell out of customers and tricking them into thinking they’ll got a free baggage allowance when they really don’t. I have flown out of Leon/Guanajuato a lot, and naturally assumed that all flights in and out of Mexico are considered international flights. But no, only those four airports."

Electronic airline tickets, or e-tickets, offer some conveniences to passengers, but using them is not quite as simple as scanning a printout at the airport. Whether you work with a clerk or use a self-service kiosk, use of an e-ticket still involves a check-in procedure that is far from completely automatic. At a minimum, you must provide positive identification, and any issues, such as checked baggage, must also be cleared through the system. Items you will need E-ticket printout Credit card Passport -- international flights only Driver's license Step 1Print out your e-ticket or the validation e-mail you received before leaving for the airport. This gives you a better form of proof that you bought the ticket than writing down your verification and reservation numbers, and is usually more convenient than writing those numbers down. Step 2Arrive at the airport with the usual time margins – as of 2011, 60 to 75 minutes for a domestic flight and two to three hours for an international flight -- for checking in, even with an e-ticket. The minimum check-in times of 30 minutes for a domestic flight and 60 minutes for an international flight still apply to e-ticket holders, as do the standard delays for checking luggage and security screenings. Step 3Proceed to the check-in counter area for your airline and look for self-service check-in kiosks. If you have a major credit card -- and your passport for international flights -- and the kiosks are in working order, check-in electronically there."

Even those flyers who use Spirit a lot tend to criticize the airline for excessive charges, lack of punctuality, incredibly tight seats and tacky marketing shticks. Yet people still fly Spirit, simply because it’s often the cheapest way to get from Point A to Point B. Spirit flies to dozens of destinations in the U. S., Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and Latin America (Colombia and Peru). The card perfectly reflects the general product it’s promoting – the airline. The Free Spirit frequent flyer program and the Spirit Airlines World Mastercard credit card are so intertwined that it doesn’t make much sense to use one without the other. To its credit, Spirit doesn’t hide anything. So if you follow the rules and pay attention to the fine print, you can benefit greatly. If not, the “gotchas” can get you. Low annual fee The annual fee is only $59 to begin with, and it’s waived for the first year."

In conjunction with a host of new features, the card recently boosted its annual fee to $550, placing it among the priciest of rewards cards. While the annual fee puts the card out of reach of most cardholders, the Platinum card is not designed for the average cardholder. The Platinum card teems with luxury travel perks, including free airport lounge access and a sweeping array of insurance benefits, to appeal to a frequent traveler who hankers for elite treatment. Mediocre rewards rate The rewards on the American Express Platinum card are less than impressive, though rewards may be a secondary consideration for a luxury card with a $550 fee. You get 5 points per dollar on flights purchased directly with the airline or through the American Express Travel website and 2 points per dollar on other eligible travel purchases made through the website. The 2 percent bonus, unfortunately, excludes car rentals and hotels that are not prepaid, which cuts out a significant portion of travel expenses. All other purchases receive a low rate of 1 point per dollar. To the card’s credit, the travel bonuses on the card are well-matched to the spending habits of its target audience."

"text": "Delta Deep Dive: Delta Elite Status November 26, 2014 by Frequent Flyer Miles101 11 Comments Filed Under: Delta The final part on my Delta overview centers on Medallion elite status and the extra benefits you get by being a frequent flyer. As a quick refresher, elite status:is based on the number of miles and dollars you spent in the previous year and is a separate tracking system from the miles you redeem for free flights (redeemable miles). It resets January 1 of each year and, while you generally get one elite status mile (on Delta they are known as Medallion Qualifying Miles, or MQMs) for each mile you fly. There are occasional exceptions such as bonus MQMs for high-fare tickets or penalties for certain partner travel (and you deserve a medal if you can figure out that chart). If it’s easier, you can think of it as a points system. Delta’s elite program is not the best, but it’s the biggest (pending the American-US Airways integration), so its impact is the largest in the industry. We’re going with the 80/20 rule again here, given the breadth of the Medallion program. Earning Delta Elite Status In the past, Delta passengers earned elite status by virtue of MQMs alone. Now, however, passengers need a combination of MQMs and dollars spent. The spend requirements are not particularly onerous, with the revenue generated per mile flown well below the Delta average, but it does take the mileage runners out of the game."

Caroline is an active member of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW). Her work has appeared on USA Today, the Boston Globe, AOL.com, MSNBC.com, ABC News, TODAY Travel, and Cruise Critic.com, among other publications. See recent posts by Caroline [email protected] Last year U. S. fliers spent more than $6.4 billion on baggage fees from the airlines. This suggests that legions of passengers are continuing to shell out hundreds of dollars for optional charges that can be avoided with modest effort. Naturally, packing light is one of the best ways to avoid these extra fees. But traveling with the bare minimum isn’t always an option — especially for passengers taking month-long cruises or families that need multiple pieces of luggage. Even those of us who’ve mastered the art of packing light are getting hit with full-size fees. Spirit, Frontier and Allegiant now charge for carry-ons, and a single checked bag costs $50 per roundtrip flight on most major airlines. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid the industry’s barrage of baggage fees — tricks that the airlines probably don’t want you to know about."

Chances are you’ll pay at least an extra $15 to $25 each way to check just one bag. For a family of four, the fees can easily add up to the cost of an airline ticket. And what happens if your bags get damaged or don’t show up when you do? Airlines devote yards of fine print to spelling out their liability for lost or damaged luggage — usually the actual value, not to exceed $3,300, with no coverage for valuables such as cameras and jewelry. In the case of baggage delays, most airlines will reimburse you for small items such as a toothbrush or change of clothes you might need until your luggage arrives. Yet when it comes to refunding the checked-bag fees airlines began charging last year, policies are surprisingly vague. Bottom line: Refunds for bag fees are rare, even when the “service” provided turns out to be less than you’d expect."

Most of us live far enough away from Florida that driving would take just too long, especially with a car full of kids so flying is the only option. The only problem is the high cost of flights today makes it cost prohibitive to fly a family to Florida even on budget carriers. Depending on where you live, flights can range from $150 to $300+ round trip which means that for a family of 4 flights alone could be running you $600 to $1300+!New York City to Orlando is expensive That’s just the base fare too – add in all of the additional baggage and other fees that airlines like to tack on, flying your family to Disney will do a number on your wallet. I know that because of the high cost of flights many turn to driving to Disney – but for your and your family’s sanity, if you have over a 6 hour drive it’s so much worth it to fly, especially using the methods we’re going to detail coming up. When I was a kid my family decided to drive to Florida….from Philadelphia. We loaded up the station wagon and the four of us were headed down to Florida. About 18 hours later we finally arrived, uncomfortable, tired and all around miserable. The drive home was even worse!Southwest offers a great frequent flier program called Rapid Rewards for domestic travel along with having good availability to Orlando from many cities around the country. In order to travel on Southwest for free we’re going to gather enough frequent flier miles to be able to fly our family of four to Orlando for free."

July 6, 2015 • min read by Gerri Detweiler 11 Comments Occasionally we get questions from readers who have gotten an automatic credit limit increase, and they wonder if there is a downside to accepting it. Or they close a little-used account and their credit scores go down, even though they are using cards and paying them off exactly as they had been. What’s going on here? Credit scores are calculated in part based on how much of your available credit is being used. You can calculate your overall utilization by adding up all the reported balances on your revolving accounts (i.e. credit cards, lines of credit) and dividing that figure by the total credit limits. Credit scores also weigh in each individual account’s utilization rate. Your amount of debt, which includes your “ debt usage ,” (or “utilization”) as it’s called, accounts for roughly 30% of your credit scores."

Your credit score. It’s amazing how much this one little three-digit number can affect so much of your life, especially when it comes to buying, or rather, borrowing money to purchase something. Whether you are applying for a car loan, a home mortgage or even a credit card, one of the first things a lender will do is check your credit score rating to see how good your credit is. Based on this information, as well as other variables, the lender will then approve or deny your credit application. [ Get Your Free Credit Score & Free Credit Report Card ]What is credit? Credit is borrowed money provided to you as a loan, so that you may purchase goods or services when and as you need them. The money typically comes from a credit issuer, like a bank or financial institution, who is then paid back over a certain agreed upon amount of time. Credit usually comes with a finance charge (known as interest) that is paid in addition to the initial amount of money that you borrow. In most cases, the borrower is required to make a minimum or fixed payment each month that goes toward repaying the debt."

This is often the case with people who have limited or no credit–issuers limit their liability and only offer cards with low amounts of credit. Here is a look at how you can increase your credit limit so you have more money available when you need it. Use Your Credit Card in Place of Cash Rather than spending cash everywhere you go, use your card instead. You can still apply that cash to a credit card payment, but you’ll have the added bonus of making use of your card. Not only will this build your credit, but it will also show the credit card company that you need more money than what you have. As long as you use what you already have responsibly, they should be willing to work something out for you. Here is the habit you need to get into: Get the money for something you need and put it into a bank account. Pay for the item with your credit card, even if it is rent or a utility bill.

"text": "\"Credit & Debt Credit Glossary What is the Credit Limit on a Credit Card? Share Flip Pin Email•••By La Toya Irby Updated April 30, 2017One of the most important things to know about your credit card is your credit limit which is the maximum outstanding balance you can have on your credit card at a given point in time without receiving a penalty. Managing your credit limit is important both for staying out of debt and building a good credit score. If you're wondering what the credit limit is for your credit card, check your billing statement, log onto your online account, or call your credit card's customer service. How Much Will Your Credit Limit Be? Your credit card issuer determines your credit limit when you first apply for the credit card by assessing your income, current debt level, and credit history. If you have a new credit history, a history of late payments, low income, or a high debt level you may be approved for a low credit limit to start. Unfortunately, you won't know what your credit limit will be until you've completed your application and are approved for the credit card. ( The exception is with a secured credit card where your credit limit usually equal to your security deposit.) If you're (reasonably) unhappy with the credit limit you've received, you can request a bigger one or turn down the credit card."

And whether you’re looking at a FICO® or Vantage Score® credit score, your scores are based on the same information: the data in your credit reports. While various credit scoring models may weigh each factor differently, the leading ones, FICO® and Vantage Score®, place similar relative importance on the following five categories of information. We’ve ranked them by which ones are often most important to the average consumer."

I've never missed a payment or had to pay a single fee, and I'm using the card for everything. I tried to get my credit limit boosted two months ago and it was boosted a couple hundred bucks, but it barely solves the problem; I still have to manually pay off my balance instead of waiting for my automatic, monthly payments. This was the only time I requested a limit raise (and it was successful, but not for the amount I requested). I want to get my limit boosted as soon as possible, but how often should I request a boost? Will it negatively impact my ability to raise my limit if I request a limit raise too soon after my last request? My current limit is low. My typical utilization is ~50% or more at statement time which I know is high and could affect my credit rating. Sometimes I've had to manually pay my statement, and this month I had a charge declined because I hit the ceiling for the first time (neglected to check my limit before a large purchase)."

Chonce Maddox In continuation of our multi-part blog series about how and why to request a credit limit increase, today’s installment will detail the steps necessary to increase your limit when you own a Capital One credit card like Quicksilver, Venture, or Spark. It’s important to understand that each credit card company may have different requirements in place that they use in order to consider a credit limit request. Before sharing what criteria Capital One uses to grant or deny a credit limit increase request, let’s discuss why you might want a credit limit increase in the first place. How to increase your credit limit with American Express and Barclaycard . Why Increase Your Capital One Credit Limit? Capital One offers flexible credit cards for personal or business use that provide several benefits and perks from bonus rewards and Uber ride discounts to and cashback and 0% intro APR promotions. While the perks of using a Capital One credit card are nice, if you are spending near or close to your limit each month, your credit may be taking a negative hit. It’s important to make sure you are using credit cards to improve your credit and not because you need them in order to get by each month. Keeping your utilization below 30% of your credit limit each month is the best way to use credit cards to build your credit."

"text": "\"Credit Cards · Credit Card News · How to ask for a credit limit increase How to ask for a credit limit increase Raising your charge ceiling can help your credit score -- if you're careful By Lisa Bertagnoli | Published: May 10, 2013Most credit cards come with a ceiling that can, in some cases, keep your credit score from breaking through to new heights. While you don't get to determine the height of the ceiling, you can try to have an influence. Somewhere in the mass of numbers printed on your monthly credit card statement is your credit limit. That's your ceiling -- the maximum amount the card issuer has authorized you to charge each month. To a large extent, the height of that ceiling is out of your control. Your credit card issuer sets your credit limit when it gives you the card, taking into account your credit history, credit score and your income. Issuers can raise or lower your limit at whim -- there are no laws that prevent them from doing so. The only right you have concerning credit limits is in avoiding over-limit fees . The Credit CARD Act of 2009 prevents card issuers from processing transactions that would put you above your credit limit, and then charging you fees for going over -- unless you have signed up to authorize charges over your credit limit. If you don't opt in to that, your card issuer cannot legally charge you an over-limit fee."

In this article we examine those factors and offer some tips to get you started. Unfortunately, the answer is, “It depends.” It depends on what your credit score is now, and why. And it depends on how much you want to improve your credit score. Serious credit problems — foreclosures, collections records, etc. — will stick to your credit report for seven to 10 years. During that time, you’re not likely to achieve a perfect credit score. But, on the other hand, you can balance out these negative reports with good credit habits well before the decade is up. Here’s what you need to know about what credit score to shoot for, how your score is calculated, what harms your score, and the quickest way to bring it up again: What’s a Good Credit Score?"

"text": "Credit Cards · Credit Card News · Master Card credit cards to be accepted at Sam's Club Master Card credit cards to be accepted at Sam's Club By Jeremy M. Simon | Published: November 27, 2006Master Card -branded credit cards will soon become another form of accepted payment at Sam's Club, following an expected announcement shortly from the chain of warehouse-style discount stores. The first-ever acceptance of Master Card credit card payments by Sam's Club will come at the exclusion of Visa credit cards. That decision marks a victory for Master Card in its ongoing struggle with Visa, as the two credit card associations compete for market share. Visa is gearing up to become a publicly traded company, after Master Card's stock went public this year. Meanwhile, the announcement by Sam's Club also would represent a major change for the unit of Wal-Mart Stores, with the 589 Sam's Club stores in the U. S., Puerto Rico, and Canada previously only taking credit card payments from Discover Card and its own in-house cards. Sam's Club takes Visa and Master Card credit cards for gasoline and online purchases. Customers can also make purchases at Sam's Club locations with cash, checks and both Visa and Master Card debit cards. American Express credit cards are not accepted. The decision by Sam's Club to accept Master Card but not Visa credit card payments is rare since retailers generally do not choose between the two dominant credit card associations. Those stores that want to limit their credit card brand acceptance normally group Visa and Master Card together, and consider them as a unit against American Express, with its strong reputation but higher merchant fees, and Discover Card, with its narrower acceptance."

"text": "Sam’s Club To Accept Visa Credit Cards As Of February 11.19.163:20 PM EDT By Laura Northrup@lnorthrupjoin the clubcredit cards cardspayment cardspaymentssam's clubwarehouse club ( Mike Mozart)Shoppers at Sam’s Club will no longer need to ensure that they have the correct credit card on hand or that they’ve brought cash: as of February 1, 2016, the warehouse club will begin accepting Visa credit cards in its stores, finally making all four credit card networks accepted in its stores. Wait… didn’t Sam’s already accept Visa? That’s complicated, and it involves the fees each credit network charged to Sam’s and to corporate parent Walmart. We shoppers don’t see these fees, but when you’re a mega-retailer like Walmart, small differences in fees make a huge difference. Last fall, Sam’s began accepting American Express, after Am Ex and Costco announced that their exclusive partnership would be ending in the spring of 2016. While you couldn’t use Visa credit cards inside the stores, Sam’s did accept all four major credit cards for online purchases, as well as at the gas stations outside of some stores. Old-school Sam’s Club members will remember when Discover was the only credit card that Sam’s accepted, though cash, checks, and debit cards were also available options. Giving customers more payment choices may be part of their efforts to appeal to more upscale shoppers than it has historically: seekers of organic baby kale may not be pleased if their credit card choice is limited.

"text": "Can you use store credit cards anywhere? More and more we are seeing department stores and other retail stores offering multiple credit card options, often with certain cards offering greater rewards if you use them outside of the store whose name is on the front of the card. It is not surprising, then, that some people get confused by what they can actually do with their store credit cards — are they only good at one store or can I use them anywhere that takes credit? Here is the quick way to figure it out: if your store credit card has an American Express, Discover, Master Card or Visa logo on it, then you can use the card just about anywhere credit is accepted. If it does not, then you can only use the card at the department store / retail store where you got it. An example: Walmart offers 2 types of credit cards — a store-only card and a Walmart Master Card. The store card can only be used at Walmart stores or online at Walmart.com. The Walmart Master Card, on the other hand, can be used anywhere Master Card is accepted. ( Not to confuse the issue, but sometimes store cards can be used at multiple retail chains owned by the same company — for example, Walmart store credit cards can actually be used at the Walmart-owned Sam’s Club as well. ) Other stores have similar situations: Macy’s has a store-only card and a Macy’s American Express."

Here is my review along with a calculator to show you if it makes sense for you to apply. Earning Rewards The rewards you earn are what make the Sam’s Club Mastercard such a great deal. The big advantage is that you earn cash, not points. Points are a hassle, difficult to redeem, and can be devalued at any time. When choosing a rewards program, go with cash.5% Cashback at gas stations With the Sam’s Club Mastercard, you earn a very generous 5% cashback at gas stations. The benefit goes further than that though. In the city where I work, the Sam’s Club gas station is usually the cheapest gas in town. The problem with the Sam’s Club gas station is that other credit cards count it as a Sam’s Club, not a gas station. That means that if you have another credit card that pays a bonus cashback at gas stations, you won’t earn it at Sam’s gas stations."

View the current offers here – The Platinum Card from American Express There has been a lot of news on the airport lounge front lately, what with Amex Platinum cardholders soon to lose access American and US Airways lounges and having their Delta Sky Club guest access restricted (as will Delta Reserve cardholders) and Delta jacking up membership fees for everyone else, so a lot of people have been writing in wondering whether lounge access is even worth it anymore and how to get it cheaply when they need it, or when they are entitled to it as part of their travel plans. International premium class tickets come with lounge access. Book A Premium International Ticket – Paid or Award Airlines generally don’t give lounge access for domestic first class itineraries (with the main exception being transcontinental flights I’ll get to below), but they do for international premium class flyers – even those flying on award tickets. The great thing is that you get lounge access for your entire itinerary – not just at the airport where your international flight departs. So if you book a business class ticket and travel Orlando-Atlanta and then Atlanta-Paris, you’ll get lounge access in Orlando, Atlanta and generally in Paris on arrival. If you are traveling in first class, airlines will often have separate first class lounge sections, but you can also access the business class lounge with your first class ticket (in case you want to lounge hop)."

At the time of rental, an authorization hold will be secured on the credit/debit card provided, to cover the estimated rental charges and any additional charges that may be incurred. These funds will not be available for your use. We may place an authorization amount of up to US$ 200.00 plus the estimated charges on a customer's card, given certain conditions that will be outlined at time of rental. Additional authorizations (holds) will be obtained if the vehicle is not returned on the date/time noted on the Rental Agreement or if the original terms of the rental change which result in additional charge. Acceptable Charge Cards American Express / Master Card / Carte Blanche / Diners Club / Discover / JCB / Visa / China Union Pay Using Debit Cards to Qualify for a Rental At many Hertz locations, debit cards under a VISA, Master Card and Discover logo which draw funds directly from the cardholder's account may be used at the outset of a rental to qualify for the rental where the following requirements are met:at Hertz Airport locations, you will be required to provide proof of a return airline flight to coincide with the rental and present two (2) valid forms of identification;at Hertz Off Airport locations, you will need to be at least 25 years old, present two (2) valid forms of identification and one of the following: (a) provide a Corporate Discount Plan (CDP) number or (b) proof of a return trip travel ticket to coincide with the rental (airline or cruise).

However, there are exceptions to this general policy: You can use a Debit Card if it is already included in your Hertz Gold Plus Rewards profile or the rental is an Insurance Replacement rental. Debit cards are not accepted to qualify at time of rental for Dream Cars and Hertz Shelby GT-H. Debit cards are accepted for payment at the end of your rental. In most cases, the location will perform a credit check for debit card customers to determine credit worthiness at the time of rental."

This credit card is issued by GE Money Bank and is also accepted at SAM’s Club, a membership club which enables its members to shop online or at a local store for various services including clothing, insurance plans and check printing. There are two variants of the Wal-Mart card: the regular and the Discover card. Corporate versions of these two variants are also available for business customers which can have up to 99 cardholders. Community credit cards are also offered to non-profit organizations and government agencies. The best way to pay Wal-Mart credit card bills is at a Wal-Mart shop’s cashier’s terminal which accepts checks or cash and issues a receipt.

When launched, the Discover Card charged no annual fee and offered a higher-than-normal credit limit, features that were disruptive to the existing credit card industry. A subsequent innovation was \"\"cash back bonuses\"\" on purchases. [ 1]Most cards with the Discover brand are issued by Discover Bank, formerly the Greenwood Trust Company. Discover Card transactions are processed through the Discover Network payment network.

"text": "Electronics superstore Best Buy accepts Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express credit cards, in addition to its own store credit cards. It offers two Best Buy-branded cards that give you bonus rewards for shopping at Best Buy. In the Nerds’ analysis, carrying a Best Buy credit card might make sense if you are a frequent electronics buyer and do the bulk of your electronics shopping at Best Buy. That’s because the rewards you earn on these credit cards are redeemable only at Best Buy. The cards also give you the option of deferred-interest financing for certain purchases, but if avoiding interest is your primary aim, a 0% APR offer on a bank card would be a safer bet. What Best Buy credit cards are available? Best Buy offers two kinds of credit cards: The My Best Buy Credit Card. This is a store card accepted at Best Buy and Best Buy.com. There is no annual fee. ( Best Buy says some applicants for this card might get a version called the “My Best Buy Credit Card Preferred,” but the stated terms of the cards — rewards, fees, interest rates — are identical. )"

I mean, they accept Master Card (and Discover! ), so why not Visa? It’s understandable that they don’t accept Amex, as many merchants avoid Amex due to their relatively high merchant processing fees. But Visa and Master Card credit cards have similar processing fees, so why accept one and not the other? As it turns out, Walmart (who owns Sam’s Club) has a deal with Master Card for discounted processing fees."

"text": "Since its founding in 1950, American Express has branded itself as the card of choice for people with a track record of success. The company’s marketing language — for example, it uses “cardmember” instead of “cardholder” — was crafted to connote an air of exclusivity. Even today, when anyone with a decent credit rating is constantly bombarded with pre-approved card offers, an Amex card in your wallet exudes a certain undefinable air of prestige. But, when you’re scrambling to finish your holiday shopping only to discover at the register that the store doesn’t accept American Express, prestige won’t help you. This article will provide you with an extensive list of stores that happily accept Amex, as well as a few notable places that don’t. In This Article The Back Story: Why Some Stores Give Amex the Cold Shoulder The Other Side: Why Amex Does It Places That Accept American Express Travel booking Department Stores, Apparel Shops, Discount Stores, and Wholesale Clubs Gas Stations and Convenience Stores Hardware and Auto Parts Stores Office Supply and Electronics Stores Restaurants Supermarkets and Pharmacies Specialty Stores Where is American Express Not Accepted? The Back Story: Why Some Stores Give Amex the Cold Shoulder Your local shopkeeper doesn’t have a personal vendetta against American Express, nor does he distrust Amex’s ability to make good on promised payments. In fact, American Express has a long history of clean, accurate handling of transactions. And the average income of Amex card carriers is significantly higher than carriers of Mastercard, Visa, or Discover cards, which means customers who wish to pay with American Express are more likely to buy bigger-ticket items and are less likely to return them. However, every time you make a purchase using a credit card, the card issuer takes a small cut of the purchase price as a transaction fee (also known as a swipe fee)."

Thanks for your support!In March we learned that American Express and Costco would be cutting ties, which was a pretty big loss for American Express. The loss of Costco threatens roughly 8% of the annual worldwide spending on American Express cards. But American Express was losing money on the agreement, and it just didn’t make sense to sustain it. Instead, as of April 2016, Costco’s co-branded credit card will be a Visa issued by Citi. Sam’s Club now accepts American Express It seems like American Express wasn’t going to just take the loss without a fight, as they’ve now worked out an agreement with Costco’s biggest competitor, Sam’s Club (which is the eighth largest retailer in the US). As of October 1, 2015 (today), American Express cards are accepted at more than 650 Sam’s Club locations in the US.

Related: Sams Club - FRAUD ALERT TO SAMS CREDIT CARD SCAMS BOGUS REFUND POLICY!I don't find the plus membership worthwhile. They say they give $10 for every $500 spent, but I've only seen 1 \"\"check\"\" and have spent thousands there since I've had the plus Membership. It's not really a check... payee is Sam's Club, so really it's more like a coupon, easy to lose or simply never have it with you when you shop. Since I have a credit account with Sam's, sure seems they could credit me and make it a real benefit. But the intent, I suspect, is to sell it as a benefit, but make it as difficult as possible for the customer to actually claim the benefit. This person wrote the review because of poor customer service at Sams Club. Reviewer claimed that he or she lost $100 and wants Sams Club to \"\"fix website to allow downgrades."

However, regular expression validation can indeed be useful in trapping typos (like one digit too many or too few) before submitting any data anywhere. NOTEThe patterns used here all assume that any embedded spaces or hyphens have been removed. This is generally a good practice to remove any nondigits from credit card numbers before performing any regular expression processing. All credit cards follow a basic numbering scheme—an opening digit sequence followed by a specified number of digits. We’ll start with Master Card.

Photo by Pat Christman The Free Press By Jessica Bies [email protected] MANKATO — Area drivers, experiencing unusually low gas prices since the April opening of Mills Fleet Farm, probably offered a near unanimous reaction: \"\"We Love It! \"\" Gas retailers, by contrast, are hating it enough to have filed complaints with the state Commerce Department, alleging that Fleet Farm or Sam's Club drove prices to an illegally low level in the local marketplace. \"\" This is a pretty substantial cut into a pretty small mom-and-pop shop,\"\" said Bruce Keckhafer, owner of the Happy Dan's gas and convenience store at the corner of Victory Drive and Hoffman Road. \"\" I'm not sure how much more I can continue doing this. \"\" The price war of the past three months has been a marked contrast to the long-standing belief of many local drivers that if there's a variance between Mankato gas prices and those elsewhere in Minnesota, the Mankato prices will usually be steeper. \"\" Mankato's gas prices have always been higher than surrounding communities,\"\" said Jason Smith on The Free Press Facebook page. \"\" It is about time they fall in with the rest of Minnesota. \"\" Warming temps, falling prices On March 18, the average price of regular unleaded in Mankato was $2.47 per gallon, more than a dime higher than Rochester and St. Cloud and 13 cents higher than the Twin Cities average. The Fleet Farm store, with its accompanying service station, opened on April 1 and the gap quickly began to close."

Legal gambling in Austin? Short of a four hour drive to Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino in Eagle Pass, it simply didn’t exist before now. Texas Card House has changed all that, offering the first legal poker room in Austin–and in the whole state of Texas outside reservations. The trick is in the language. Texas Card House offers membership to a “card and social club” and provides a facility where members can gamble. There are no tips to the dealer and no rake (house share). Texas Holdem poker will be on the tables most nights, but other card games like Omaha Poker or Bridge/Gin/Hearts/Spades are available upon request. How to Legalize Gambling in Texas This gutsy move is the brainchild of Sam Von Kennel. Sam’s unique background gave him the perfect insight to set up the first legal poker room in the state of Texas."

"text": "\"Costco's move to Visa from American Express opens its stores to a lot more credit cards. ( Rick Bowmer / Associated Press)Gregory Karp A longtime checkout-line hassle for many Costco shoppers has ended, as the popular wholesale club has flipped the switch on its new credit card policy. It has stopped accepting American Express and started taking only Visa — a dramatic changeover for a merchant with about 81 million members worldwide. The move opens up Costco to a lot more credit cards. About 118 million people in the U. S. have at least one Visa card, about three times as many as have an American Express card, according to the Nilson Report, an industry newsletter. “The switch from American Express to Visa is a big win for consumers,” says Sean Mc Quay, Nerd Wallet credit card expert. He adds that Citi's new Costco card is “a much richer card than the American Express incumbent. ”See the most-read stories this hour >>Costco's new rules For 16 years, Issaquah, Wash.-based Costco Wholesale Corp., known as a place for bulk buying in super-sized shopping carts, accepted only credit cards with the American Express label. Last year, it announced it would switch to Visa cards.

Their reputation is enviable, high-quality products at exceptionally low prices, and frankly, I've mostly taken their price superiority as a given. Recently I visited Sam's Club for the first time and discovered that it was a virtual mirror image of a Costco warehouse store. The same concrete floors, same steel rack shelves and the same giant shopping carts. I wanted to know, who had lower prices? Sam's Club came first. As I did in my Walmart vs. Target comparison, I prepared a list of items before I entered either store. This would help keep things fair by ensuring that I didn't choose items based on the price at Sam's. The membership fee at Sam's Club is $40 per year, which I was determined to avoid buying. I wouldn't be able to purchase anything during my price-investigation, but non-members are welcome to enter and browse the merchandise."

"text": "Since its founding in 1950, American Express has branded itself as the card of choice for people with a track record of success. The company’s marketing language — for example, it uses “cardmember” instead of “cardholder” — was crafted to connote an air of exclusivity. Even today, when anyone with a decent credit rating is constantly bombarded with pre-approved card offers, an Amex card in your wallet exudes a certain undefinable air of prestige. But, when you’re scrambling to finish your holiday shopping only to discover at the register that the store doesn’t accept American Express, prestige won’t help you. This article will provide you with an extensive list of stores that happily accept Amex, as well as a few notable places that don’t. In This Article The Back Story: Why Some Stores Give Amex the Cold Shoulder The Other Side: Why Amex Does It Places That Accept American Express Travel booking Department Stores, Apparel Shops, Discount Stores, and Wholesale Clubs Gas Stations and Convenience Stores Hardware and Auto Parts Stores Office Supply and Electronics Stores Restaurants Supermarkets and Pharmacies Specialty Stores Where is American Express Not Accepted? The Back Story: Why Some Stores Give Amex the Cold Shoulder Your local shopkeeper doesn’t have a personal vendetta against American Express, nor does he distrust Amex’s ability to make good on promised payments. In fact, American Express has a long history of clean, accurate handling of transactions. And the average income of Amex card carriers is significantly higher than carriers of Mastercard, Visa, or Discover cards, which means customers who wish to pay with American Express are more likely to buy bigger-ticket items and are less likely to return them. However, every time you make a purchase using a credit card, the card issuer takes a small cut of the purchase price as a transaction fee (also known as a swipe fee)."

OVERALL RATING: Reliability: Software & Games: Payout Speed: Customer Service: Visit Bovada Deposit & Payout Options Despite being 10x bigger than any competitor in the U. S. market, www.bovada.lv processes payouts faster than others, has the most professional customer service and most valuable promotions in the U. S. market. Bovada is the Most Popular in the U. S. (by Far)Only company insiders can give us definite answers and each of the ones we’ve contacted have refused to do that (understandably so). Still, it seems like the company is miles ahead of its US competition. Consider this: Bovada gets 3.4 million visitors a month according to Alexa. That’s 10 times more traffic than its nearest U. S. competition, since Bet Online – the second-busiest U. S. site – gets 300,000 visitors according to Compete and 400,000 according to Alexa. I have no access to information regarding the rate of traffic to sign-ups – or any other conversion metrics for that matter – but in all likelihood, Bovada is making its competition look foolish on the popularity scale. Anyway, here’s the main point: considering all the traffic they get and the customers they (likely) have, you’ll see relatively few Bovada complaints at online forums. That’s quite a feat when you keep two things in mind: again, they deal with a massive amount of customers and people like to complain. After almost 15 years in the business (having started in 2001), they still deliver check cashouts faster any other US gambling site ( in 7-10 days )."

"text": "\"Retail Consumer Retail Autos Food and Beverage Restaurants Fashion Goods Retail Report Few Retailers Accepting 'Chip' Credit Card Payment Feature for Holidays Herb Weisbaum Published 7:57 PM ET Tue, 15 Dec 2015NBC NEWSMaybe you've noticed: At many stores, both big and small, you still have to swipe the magnetic stripe on your new chip-enabled credit card, rather than insert or dip it into a chip-reader. Edgar Dworsky, founder of the website Consumer World.org, wondered why he's rarely asked to dip his smart cards, despite an Oct. 1 \"\"deadline\"\" for retailers to adopt the new standard. So he decided to survey the marketplace last week. He checked 48 national and regional chains and found that only one in four had payment terminals able to process a purchase using the chip security feature in the EMV cards (an acronym derived from Europay, Master Card and Visa, the three companies that originally developed the standard). More from NBC:'Chip' Credit Card Switch Bites Subscription Services Like Netflix Kohl's Will Stay Open for 170 Straight Hours Free Snacks Are Back on United Airlines\"\"Virtually all — except for Radio Shack — have installed checkout terminals with the card slots for these chip cards, but most of them did not work. They had not turned on the system yet,\"\" Dworsky told NBC News. Only 10 chains in the Consumer World survey have enabled the chip card function chainwide: Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, Macy's, Old Navy, Rite Aid, Sam's Club, Target, Walgreens and Walmart. Big-name national and regional retailers that cannot accept chip cards at some or all of their stores include: Bed Bath & Beyond, CVS, Costco, Foot Locker, Kmart, Kohl's, Kroger, Marshalls, Michaels, Pet Smart, Safeway, Sears, Sports Authority, Staples, Stop & Shop, T. J. Maxx, Toys R Us and Whole Foods. \"\" It seems crazy that all of this money is being spent to send out replacement cards and to install all the new payment terminals at these big-name stores, but nothing has really changed - the security is no better,\"\" Dworsky commented. \"\" Plus, it's really frustrating and confusing for shoppers who see the new terminals and don't know whether to swipe or dip their credit card. \"\""

Some of the Presidents attended neighborhood public schools, and some of them learned in rural classrooms; others studied under tutors and attended prestigious private schools. Many of the Presidents participated in extracurricular activities and organized sports while they attended school. The challenges of studying various subjects, completing homework, forming new ideas, participating in extracurricular activities, and making friends are part of the common heritage of an American education shared by everyone—including our Presidents. This is the premise of a new exhibit opening at the National Archives Building in Washington, D.

The most important thing to remember is that whatever amount is held, those funds will be frozen and unavailable to you for the full amount of the rental and then for the amount of time that it takes to get those funds reversed back into your account. I contacted some major auto rental companies about their credit card holds for car rental deposit with mixed results. Company Specific Policies for Hold on a Credit Card (All links open in new windows)Budget.comthey process a credit card hold of total estimated charges plus 25% or $200, whichever is greater. So, they have a $200 minimum hold (this minimum hold would only occur if your rental total was $199 or less). In order to calculate the amount held on your credit card if your total rental cost is over $200 just mulitply the amount of the rental costs by 1.25 which will give you the amount of the car rental deposit required. Dollar.com They place an authorization (or hold) on the renter's credit card of the total estimated rental charges and any additional charges that may be incurred. Funds held on your credit card will not be available for your use. Because the requirements vary by location, renters must look at the Local Policies guide for specific information on credit qualifications and requirements where you intend to rent.

"text": "\"Credit Cards · Credit Card News · Most rental car companies accept debit cards, survey finds Most rental car companies accept debit cards, survey finds But expect to face extra restrictions, conditions By Amy Buttell Crane | Published: July 9, 2009With credit card companies canceling accounts and slashing credit limits, using a credit card to rent a car this summer may not be an option. While it isn't as easy to rent a car without a credit card as it is with one, it is possible, a survey conducted by Creditcards.com reveals. Just four of the 45 rental car agency locations contacted in the telephone survey said they refused, under any circumstances, to allow consumers to rent a car rentals with a debit card. The other 41 locations permitted customers to use a debit card to rent a car -- however, all but one of those locations required users to meet at least one extra qualification requirement in order to do so. For example, 24 locations require an additional deposit, and 10 mandate a credit check. ( See summary of debit card policies at car rental agencies . ) The Credit Cards.com telephone survey included 45 locations from nine major rental car companies: Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, E-Z Rent-A-Car, Hertz, National, Rent-A-Wreck and Thrifty. Credit Cards.com called five different locations at airport and nonairport locations throughout the country -- ranging from Los Angeles and Chicago to Erie, Pa., and Wayne, Mich. -- asking whether the use of debit cards was allowed and what restrictions were placed on that use if they were allowed at that location. Among the nine rental car companies surveyed, some were consistent in their policies, while others were all over the map. Because many rental car company outlets are operated by franchisees who have a certain amount of control over how they do business, debit card policies vary by location. ("

You may be able to get a break in Florida because it's a huge tourist state and it's not like you can drive a rental car to a chop-shop in Cuba. Best bet is to call the major rental companies and ask (they all have 1-800 numbers). Not 100% sure, but I think Rent-A-Wreck will rent to people as low as age 18 if you have a major credit card (READ: NOT a debit card). Anonymous · 1 decade ago0 1 Comment I used to be a manager in a well known car rental company. They changed their policy since 2006 to become 21 years old if you are renting on your own [ That's means you are renting the car for fun or personal matter but no insurance company is involved, or your car is not in a body shop due to an accident]. this applies to Hertz, Enterprise and Budget. If your car is getting repaired in a body shop or a mechanical shop that has certain kind of a deal with the car rental facility near them, the minimum age is 18 years old. Some insurance companies however will not pay for the car rental or allow it if you were under 21 even if the car rental company was ok with it."

The thrill of rolling beneath the soaring international orange towers in a rental car, however, has grown more confusing — and often more costly — with the end of toll collectors, the advent of all-electronic tolling and the signs warning drivers not to stop at the toll booths. Most Bay Area motorists have learned in the two years since the bridge laid off its toll takers that they can pay by using a Fas Trak transponder, letting cameras snap their license plates and mail them a bill, or paying online, by phone or at a kiosk or store up to 30 days in advance or within two days after crossing the span. But few tourists know those intricacies and are often persuaded by rental car companies to use their toll services, which can end up adding a few dollars a day — plus tolls — to their bills. It comes as a surprise to some car renters who don’t learn about the charges until they get their credit card bills. At the Bay Bridge and the region’s other toll crossings, all owned by the state, drivers still have the option of stopping and paying cash.

"text": "Home Do You Need a Credit Card to Rent a Car? No, credit cards are not required by all agencies for car rental. Rental agencies prefer credit cards to protect their company from incidentals that may occur while the rental car is in possession of the renter. Because of the economy, nearly 1.6 million people have filed bankruptcy in the United States in 2010. This number is up 13.8% from 2009. For this reason, many people do not qualify for credit cards. This has forced many people to consider purchases on a cash only basis. Other renters prefer cash to protect their credit status. Consumers also opt for cash payments to preserve their credit for home or vehicle purchases. There are options for cash only renters."

"text": "Home > How to Manage Money > How to Rent a Car Without a Credit Card There is a common misconception that in order to get a rental car you must pay with a credit card. In reality, there are at least two ways to rent a car without a credit card. One is by using a debit card – and you probably already knew this – but the other may surprise you. It’s cash! Yes, cash. On the surface it seems impossible, or at least unlikely, but at least some car rental companies will accept cash as a form of payment for your rental car. But let’s take a look at paying with a debit card and by cash. Paying with a Debit Card In most respects, paying for a rental car with a debit card is almost identical to using a credit card. The one major exception is the car rental companies will often run a limited credit check on you before accepting the debit card for payment. This will be especially true if you are a new customer to the rental car company, as they will often waive the credit check if you are a previous customer."

Information Courtesy of USAAFeb. 24, 2017 | Print |Highlights Call your insurance and credit card companies Primary auto insurance generally extends to rentals Collision and comprehensive coverage may not pay for every charge Have you ever found yourself at a rental car agency wondering whether you should buy their additional coverage? What, you wonder, does my regular auto insurance cover? Unfortunately, there are no easy answers that apply to everyone. Whether you're covered — and for what and how much — depends on what types of personal auto insurance you carry, what protection your credit card offers and where you're renting the car. Before you rent, call your personal auto insurance provider and your credit card company so you know what terms apply to a rental vehicle. Don't wait until you're on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck or ambulance. Generally, coverage from your primary auto insurance will extend to a rental vehicle. If you cause an accident while driving the rental, your liability insurance would pay up to your policy limits for the damages to other cars or property."

For the most part, bus travel is an ideal way to get around in Mexico, but there are times when driving makes the most sense. If you're on a tight schedule, you can cover more ground in less time. If you're not on any schedule, you might want to explore and make up your itinerary as you go. And even the second-class buses don't always cover every place you want to visit. The Yucatan, for example, is especially suited to driving: Many beaches, barely developed ruins and intriguing villages lie a good distance from the main road.

For example, it is allowable for a traveler to exceed the meal limit on a particular day when dining with colleagues attending the same conference, when there is a demonstrated cost savings in another expense category (i.e..., a traveler is able to secure an automobile rental at a very reasonable rate that results in a significant cost savings for the department/University). When a situation such as the one described above occurs, prepare a brief explanation, obtain the approval of an authorized department approver, and submit the justification with your Travel Expense Report. Please contact a member of the travel team (refer to page 2) if you would like to discuss a specific situation where an exception to the policy may be appropriate. ** Each program, college, department or division is responsible for designating an appropriate individual to approve RIT travel and hospitality expenditures. Generally, this individual is the dean, director, department head, or a department administrator. Traveler’s Responsibilities – Employees should use discretion when expending RIT funds and for ensuring that expenditures are necessary and appropriate for meeting business needs."

A rental car can provide the freedom and flexibility that public transport cannot when you’re traveling longer distances, especially outside of Mexico City. If you want to see some of the outlying towns and villages “off the beaten track”, then taking a car is the most efficient way to accomplish this, unless you have the patience, time, and temperament to deal with local transport. To rent, or not to rent? In Mexico City, car rental is probably not a very good idea, unless you’re familiar with the city and plan to do a lot of traveling about from place to place inside the capital. Public transport in towns and cities across Mexico is excellent and travel by taxi in Mexico is affordable. Car rental in most colonial cities is not a good idea, either. Most colonial towns and cities are best experienced on foot, using taxis to travel longer distances between major attractions, or back to your hotel after a long day’s exploration. Instances where car rental is a good idea is when you are touring a region (s) of Mexico and need to get from city to city (and the towns and villages in-between) without being beholden to public transport schedules. Another good way to rent a car in Mexico is to rent a vehicle from the city or town you are based at, using the vehicle to venture out on day trips and explore rural areas which may be poorly served by public transport and/or are too far away to take a taxi."

"text": "What Credit Score is Needed for Direc TV? Direct TVFebruary 28th, 2012 | Author: Stephanie Direc TV is one of the nation’s leading providers of satellite entertainment. Satellite television generally offers more entertainment options than does cable, and at a lower price. It is also available in areas where cable often isn’t, such as rural areas. This is an incredibly attractive form of entertainment, but just like anything else, there are certain requirements in order to qualify for Direc TV service. Direc TV service is a contract-based service, meaning you must commit to the service for a specified period of time. This is why a credit report is run when applying to get Direc TV services. Direc TV actually uses their own, proprietary credit scoring system that was created by the company Equifax, which is one of the major credit score and reporting agencies often referred to as the “Big 3”. Pretty much nobody is declined Direc TV and those with a range of credit scores, including poor credit scores, can still qualify to obtain satellite television through Direc TV. If you have a low credit score, you can still qualify to obtain Direc TV services, they will just require a deposit be made."

"text": "Home Cable Cancel Direc TVCancel Direc TVHow to Cancel Service Direc TV is an alternative to cable television companies in many areas, but it is also known for one of the longest mandatory contracts in the business. Customers may be lured in with a monthly price that’s more than half that of cable services, but the fine print often says the price comes with a 24-month contract. That means the customer is locked in to that service for 24 months even if the price of the service is increased during that time. Customers who need to cancel Direc TV service should call 800-531-5000. Tell the customer service representative that you’d like to cancel your Direc TV service. If you have fulfilled the initial 24-month agreement and you have not entered into another agreement of any kind, you may be able to return all equipment and cancel without problem. If you are currently under a contract with the company, you will likely be asked to pay early termination fees. If you want to read more about cancelling Direc TV service, visit the website at: http://support.directv.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1953/~/can-i-cancel-my-directv-service-online%3FIs There An Early Termination Fee? Yes, the early termination fee for Direc TV service is $20 per month for every month left on the contract. That means if there are 20 months left, you will be charged a minimum early termination fee of $400."

With my limited understanding of D* technology, the only way that I can see they can accomplish that is as follows: Say the hotel gets 20 channels.

When it is windy, well if the wind blows too hard, I lose reception. There is actually a ** Lives Matter channel and a \"\"Gay U. S.

I can't read the channel guide because it has soft white letters on a light blurry blue background. I called to cancel and some guy named Devon lowered me to $25.00 per month.

"text": "\"Direc TV Genie DVR and interface launch with advice for the indecisive Jon Fingas, @jonfingas10.11.12 Comments1Shares We got a peek at Direc TV's Genie system just a few weeks ago with promises of a system that would both suggest related shows and optionally record them unbidden. It's here, and it's being joined by some rebranding. The company's flagship HR34 DVR has been relabeled as the Genie and makes the new software its centerpiece, with those five tuners letting even the chronically uncommitted take new recommendations as seriously as they like. As before, simultaneous viewing is otherwise the biggest angle: there's support for up to eight RVU -capable TVs hooked up at once, two shows playing on one TV and up to four TVs watching the same show. You'll have to be a new subscriber to get the video recorder under the Genie moniker, although we don't see too many existing customers dropping everything to get that symbolic distinction.

The DIRECTV Genie delivers an innovative set of features that include the ability to record five shows in HD at one time; up to three times more HD recording capacity than cable HD DVRs; a full HD DVR experience on every TV in the home without seeing a box in each and every room; and a new opt-in feature that will automatically recommend shows based on the viewer's taste. DIRECTV Genie™ is now the entertainment hub for the entire home and shares content seamlessly with additional TVs that are connected to small DIRECTV clients or other connected devices (such as RVU-enabled TVs, gaming consoles and Blu-ray players) from a single HD DVR. \"\" We simply asked consumers what they wished for in the perfect television experience and then set out to develop as many of those features as possible in our new flagship HD DVR. Given all that Genie can do, we expect our customers to be extremely impressed with this next generation experience,\"\" said Romulo Pontual, executive vice president and CTO of DIRECTV. \"\""

"text": "\"Can You Use a Debit Card as a Credit Card? Jul 27, 2013 | Odysseas Papadimitriou, Wallet Hub CEOYes and no. You can indeed use a debit card at all of the same places that you can use a credit card, and you have the option of signing for debit card purchases rather than using a PIN. All you have to do is select the credit option on the payment terminal after swiping your card. However, you cannot use a debit card to make purchases with money that you do not yet have. A credit card gives you a line of credit that you can spend and pay back over time, while a debit card necessitates having available funds in your checking account. That is the fundamental difference between using a debit card and a credit card, but it’s not the only thing that separates the two payment options. When you use a debit card – whether you enter a PIN at checkout or use the “credit” option and sign for your purchase – you will also: Sacrifice Rewards Earning Potential: While debit card rewards were once fairly ubiquitous, regulatory changes made checking accounts less profitable and therefore prompted banks to raise fees and either make debit card rewards less attractive or eliminate them altogether. Rewards credit cards typically give you at least 1% cash back (or the points/miles equivalent) for each dollar that you spend.

The exact timeframe, however, depends on the company calculating your score and the scoring model they’re using. For example, Vantage Score 3.0 is capable of generating a score with just one month of credit history. But it can take three to six months to get a score from other models, including FICO’s. A relatively new credit score based on limited credit-report information also has the potential to be quite volatile, fluctuating as fresh data is taken into account. For example, if you manage to reach good credit fairly soon after establishing credit then miss a couple of monthly minimum payments, your credit standing will likely take a dive. That is why building a truly good credit score – based on a solid track record of financial responsibility – usually takes about three years. And building a consistently excellent score typically takes around five."

"text": "\"Car Repair Insurance: Is Coverage for Breakdowns Worth It? Mar 6, 2015 | Joshua Taylor, Wallet Hub Editorial Team Car repair insurance, or mechanical breakdown coverage, is available from a few insurance companies such as GEICO and Mercury Insurance. Adding this coverage to your car insurance can save you from bearing the cost of major repairs like a blown engine or transmission on your own. But for most people it’s just not a good value. So that you can decide for yourself, we summarize below how this insurance works. We’ll also offer some better alternatives that can help protect you from expensive car repairs.1 How Does Car Repair Insurance Work? 2 Comparing Insurance to Extended Service Contracts3 Is It Worth It? 4 Alternatives How Does Car Repair Insurance Work? Car repair insurance is similar to extended warranties or service contracts sold by auto manufacturers and dealers. It covers the same kinds of things, which means it will pay to fix mechanical problems after your car’s new warranty has expired."

You’ve Been Warnedby Credit Card Forum Staff You may have never heard the name “FIA Card Services”, but it is among the largest issuers of credit cards in the world. But bigger isn’t always better. Do you have a Bank of America credit card? If so, you probably have an FIA credit card – they are Bank of America’s wholly-owned subsidiary for credit cards. It’s slightly odd to craft a meaningless and mysterious set of letters that don’t actually stand for anything rather than just simply branding the company “Bank of America Credit Cards, Inc. or something more transparent, at least. It’s probably a result of Bank of America’s acquisition of another mysterious set of letters about ten years ago – MBNA. At least those letters stood for something (Maryland Bank National Association). They were probably the originators of the FIA sub-brand."

Well it actually crossed my mind today when I was shopping there and spent way more than I wanted to! But here’s some important info you will want to know before you submit your Marshalls credit card application. There are actually TWO different cards they offer: TJX Rewards Credit Card This is there basic store card. The reason it’s called TJX instead of a Marshalls credit card is because TJX is the name of the parent company that owns TJ Maxx and Marshall’s. Has a very high APR (true of all store cards, though) – 26.99% at the time of this review Can only be used for purchases at Marshalls and affiliated stores (T. J.

So if your credit is damaged, there are indeed steps that you can take to rebuild. After all, rebuilding credit is a process that takes time and requires focus on the fundamentals. And we’ll explain exactly what you need to do below. What you don’t want to do, however, is pay for credit repair. Anyone who claims the ability to “fix” or “clean up” your credit for a fee is scamming you. There is nothing any purported credit “repair” service can do that you cannot do yourself for free. We made the following tips as practical as possible to give you both the structure of a plan and a clue about how to actually stick to it. Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two very different things, after all. We also explored how long the hands of time will have to turn before you can put bad credit behind you, hopefully once and for all."

I PIF with autopay on all my cards, but I'm now realizing that $10K is quite tight for the amounts I'm putting on this card. I'll often have to pay down the balance before the due date, which will be a nuisance. $10K is one of the lowest CLs I have. Should I even bother trying to CLI it so soon? Is it too late to call the recon line to ask for more without causing another HP? Note that I also applied for two more cards after this one, which were approved. My score when I got the card was 741 and it was slightly higher when I got one of the next ones (753 IIRC).

When you apply for a credit card from a bank, it doesn’t necessarily mean you are getting a card that will be managed by that bank. This also holds true for store-issued cards. Nowadays a lot times companies will either outsource or sell-off their credit card management to companies like Elan Financial Services (a US Bancorp subsidiary). What does this mean for you? According to Elan’s website, they have “nearly 1,700 active financial institution partnerships in place.” That means there are a lot of Elan credit cards in use! I do not see a portfolio listed on their website but from what I know, they manage for a lot of local and regional banks. The effect on you – the customer – may be good or bad, depending on how you look at it. Pros: Because Elan is so huge, their scale might allow for greater resources and opportunities (i.e. more card offerings, more elaborate reward programs, and so forth)."

"text": "How your credit score affects your mortgage rate Robin Saks Frankel @robinsaks December 14, 2017 in Mortgages Jamie Kripke/Getty Images When you’re applying for a mortgage, your credit score has the most meaningful impact on the rates you’ll be offered. Typically, the higher your score, the lower the interest rates you’ll be offered by lenders. “Credit scores are enormously influential in the mortgage process and they have been since the [Federal Housing Finance Agency] essentially forced the mortgage world to start using them in the late 90s,” says John Ulzheimer, author of “The Smart Consumer’s Guide to Good Credit.” Ulzheimer says credit scores are “as important as a solid appraisal and having sufficient income. ”Check your score for free to see where you stand. What score will get the best rates? Most credit scores use the Fair Isaac Corporation ( FICO) model, which grades consumers on a 300- to 850-point range, with a higher score indicating lower to risk to the lender. Generally, a score of around 750 or higher on the FICO scale is considered an excellent score. “I’ve talked to people who are keenly aware of their score but are hard-pressed to tell me what that means in terms of what they qualify for,” says Bruce Mc Clary, spokesman for the non-profit National Foundation for Credit Counseling. Although it’s up to the specific lender to determine what score a borrower needs to be offered the lowest interest rates, the difference of a few points on your credit score can affect how much your monthly payments would be by hundreds of dollars."

"text": "How to Get the Best Auto Loan Rates Your Credit Score It’s no secret that a good credit score means a lower interest rate, but if you don’t know what your score is, how will you know what rate is fair? If you find that your credit score isn’t as good as you hoped, and you have the time, you can always work to improve it before you buy a car. A little effort could pay big dividends in the form of dollars saved over the life of your loan. Your credit score is a three digit number that is calculated based on your credit history. While there are three national credit bureaus in the U. S., they all use the FICO score algorithm to produce their score numbers. The FICO credit score scale ranges from 300-850. The higher the number, the better off you are for securing a lower interest rate on your loan. It’s important to keep in mind that those with a deep subprime -- or “very poor” -- credit score (500 and below) can expect an APR anywhere from 14 percent to a 20 percent on a bad credit car loan.poor credit score is always going to translate to a larger monthly payment on any approved auto loan. Lenders charge a higher interest rate to those with a lower credit score in order to offset their high default rates. Increasing your credit score does not happen overnight, but there are steps to take to improve your credit before trying to secure a loan: Pay your bills on time every single month."

"text": "Auto Financing For Smart People: Tips For Saving On Your Car Loan By David Weliver • July 20, 2016Save money on auto financing by knowing your credit score and leveraging competing loan offers at the dealership. Put money down, keep the term as short as you can afford, and—of course—don’t buy more car than you can afford. One of the biggest mistakes people make when buying a new car is forgetting to include the cost of auto financing in the total price. For example, if you’re buying a new Honda Civic, the difference between “sticker price” and the dealer’s invoice price (what the dealer paid for the car) is about $1,500. If you negotiate well, you could save $1,000 or more on the price of the car. If you then finance the car for four years at six percent with nothing down, you’ll pay over $2,000 in interest. Financing the car for three years at four percent with a $1,500 down payment, however, can save you over $1,000. If you’re willing to negotiate the price of the car, you shouldn’t ignore the rates and terms of your financing. I made this mistake the first time I bought a car and vowed never to do it again. If you’re in the market for a new car, don’t wait until you’re in “the box” (what some dealers call the offices where you finish the paperwork) to think about your financing."

"text": "Written by Ilyce Glink on March 6, 2014If you are gearing up to buy a home, your credit score could mean the difference between a manageable mortgage payment and one that breaks the bank. That’s because your credit score is one of the biggest factors lenders use to determine your mortgage interest rate—and how much money you’ll have to put into a down payment and pay towards closing costs. “A credit score really means a lot,” says Donald J. Frommeyer, president of the National Association of Mortgage Professionals. “ It gives the lender an opinion—based upon that credit score—about the potential risk they are taking. ”If you have a higher credit score, lenders may view you as less of a credit risk and assume that you will make on-time mortgage payments every month. As a result, a lender may offer you a mortgage at a lower, more competitive interest rate. The interest paid on a mortgage can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan (generally 15 or 30 years). A difference of just one percentage point could mean that you are saving—or spending—a substantial sum of money. A solid credit score could save you thousands Scenario 1: FICO® credit score, 700 to 759Let’s say you are applying for a $250,000 mortgage with a 30-year fixed interest rate, and you have a FICO credit score within the 700 to 759 range. ( FICO credit scores start at 300 and go up to 850. )"

Whether you carry high credit card balances, persistent medical debt, or a crippling mortgage, your financial obligations can interfere with your ability to live a balanced life. If you feel like you just can’t pay off your debts on your own, you may be considering an option that has provided relief for hundreds of thousands of other Americans: a debt consolidation loan, also known as a refinancing loan. These loans can be a big help to borrowers who owe significant money – but they do come with risks. It’s important to understand the drawbacks and consider all your alternatives before deciding if a debt consolidation loan is right for you. What Is a Debt Consolidation Loan? A debt consolidation loan pays off your existing debts and combines those balances into a single monthly bill with a new interest rate. The goal is to reduce the number of bills that you need to keep track of and reduce the total interest rate on your outstanding obligations. These loans can be unsecured, meaning they’re guaranteed only by your promise to repay, or secured, meaning they’re tied to a physical asset – most often your home, but sometimes a retirement account, life insurance policy, car, or other valuable personal possession. Unsecured loans may only apply to unsecured debts, such as credit cards and medical bills."

News Staff | March 27, 2018, at 8:00 a.m. Home ownership is the foundation of the American dream and a top financial goal for many people. But with the median listing price for homes on the market at just over $250,000, according to Zillow, most homebuyers need to finance their purchase with a mortgage instead of paying cash. Finding the right mortgage loan is arguably just as important as finding the right property. You’ll be paying off your mortgage for years, and the best terms can save you thousands of dollars over time. This guide explains how mortgages work, the basics of mortgage fees and the mortgage process, and the different types of loans available. You’ll get an overview of the top mortgage lenders in the United States so you can find the best deal for your loan. How Mortgages Work When you take out a mortgage, you borrow money from a bank or other lender to buy your home. A mortgage is a secured loan with your home as collateral, so the lender will hold the title to the property until the loan is paid in full. You will make payments on the loan each month, including interest, until it is paid off."

S. tax overhaul adds another wrinkle to the process: By summer 2019 house prices may be 4% lower than they would have been originally, but a lot of homeowner-friendly tax deductions will dissappear. It’s never been more important to find the most favorable mortgage rate. Here’s how to find the best mortgage rate Multiple factors affect your mortgage rate, including the mortgage type, your credit score, and your down payment. And if you’re using a real estate agent, you’ll likely be directed to a handful of preferred lenders, regardless of whether the rates are competitive. That’s why it pays to comparison shop as much as possible. Use the tool below to help you find the best mortgage rate for you. Mortgage Rate Comparison Tool Don’t forget about mortgage disclosure rules Lenders are required by law to provide a Good Faith Estimate — a document that outlines your potential loan’s terms and costs — within three business days of your loan application. Use this estimate to make a better apples-to-apples comparison of your options. More tips to help you score the lowest mortgage rate Polish your credit score It’s simple: Your credit score tells lenders how responsible you are, so the higher your score, the better your chances of securing the cheapest mortgage rate. Raising your credit score takes time, but the benefits to your financial health can be enormous — especially your ability to find the best mortgage rate."

"text": "What is A Good Credit Score for Buying a House?22 May 2013 by Ben The author of this post is Catey Hill, a writer for the real estate website Zillow.com. Have you ever wondered what is a good credit score for buying a house? If so, you’re not alone. Many buyers are entering the housing market right now to take advantage of current low mortgage rates, some of which are even below 3 percent. But before you decide to buy a house, you need to not only figure out if you’re financially ready but also make sure that your credit score is in good shape, especially if you want to qualify for the lowest interest rates. While many people think that an additional percentage point or two on their interest rate won’t make much of a difference, it does. Consider this comparison: Consumers who borrow $200,000 over 30 years at a 5 percent rate pay more than $186,000 in interest to the bank over the life of the loan. Compare this to consumers who borrow the same amount over that same time period but at a 3 percent rate pay just over $103,000 in interest — that’s more than 40 percent less. Plus, a lower interest rate can significantly lower monthly mortgage payments, freeing up cash for homeowners each and every month. That’s why it’s essential for home buyers to know their credit scores and restore their scores before applying for home loans."

But how do you know if it’s right for you? These are four questions to ask yourself to help you understand if this option is right for your specific situation.1. Why Do You Want to Refinance? It’s good to think about your reasoning and what you hope to gain by refinancing your mortgage before you speak with your lender — and there are a lot of common reasons as to why someone would be considering refinancing their home loan. Here are some of them (and when they might be a good option). Lowering the Interest Rate — Generally, you should consider refinancing if you can lower your interest rate by at least 2%. If interest rates are low, especially if they’re lower than when you initially got the loan, it is possible you could save a lot by refinancing your mortgage. Changing the Type of Loan – If you currently have an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM), you may want to switch to a fixed rate mortgage (FRM) in order to lock in the lower rate for a longer period of time. Alternately, you may be able to reduce your current payments by switching from a FRM to ARM."

Credit Cards & Loans for Those With Credit Score 600 to 650Gerald Morales Editorial Disclosure Apr 03, 2017 | 1 Comments Fico credit score ranges 600-650It's not often that people think about their credit scores prior to when they're looking for a loan or credit card. Most of us just live our daily lives, perform whatever financial actions we must, and assume our credit is in good shape as long as we don't miss a payment. This assumption isn't blatantly wrong, but there is a lot more to the story than that. While payment history does make up a significant portion of our credit score, it's not the only consideration. And staying focused on your credit score only when it's time to take out new credit can lead to a massive missed opportunity. The choices you make before you need credit make a huge impact on your ability to get the credit when you need it. Not just your payment history, but your credit utilization, length of time your accounts are open, and types of credit can all impact your score (among other factors). So if you've recently glanced at your credit score and found that you've fallen into a 600-650 range, there are reasons that may have happened that you may not realize. And, although your range can be improved over time, your ability to get credit now (and the cost of that credit) will be impacted by your score. How a 600-650 Credit Score Range Looks to Lenders The unique thing about a credit score that falls between 600 and 650 is that it can put you in one of two major credit brackets."

"text": "\"How Does Credit Card Interest Work? Mar 27, 2018 | John S Kiernan, Senior Writer & Editor Credit cards charge interest when you don’t pay off your full balance by the due date each month. When you carry, or revolve, a credit card balance from month to month, interest is charged on a daily basis, and it affects both your existing balance and any new purchases that post to your account. The interest you’re charged one day also becomes part of the balance accruing interest the next. In other words, credit card interest compounds daily. That, combined with the fact that credit cards are known for having high rates, is why credit card debt is so expensive. But you can avoid credit card interest by paying your bill in full every month. Interest doesn’t apply to your daily balance when you do so. And most credit card companies will give you an interest-free grace period lasting roughly 25 days, from when your monthly statement gets generated to your due date. But you lose that grace period if you don’t pay in full one month, and it takes two consecutive months of full-balance payments to get it back."

But what happens when the introductory rate expires, and you’re stuck with rate that skyrockets to 15, 20, or 25%— or (gulp) even higher? Credit card interest rates drain you of your hard earned money. A $20 meal can easily cost $10 to $15 more if left to linger in an outstanding credit card balance. That’s why well-intended people fall behind on their payments and end up barely able to make the minimums each month, even though it can mean taking years to pay off a burrito and fries. The reason they’re barely able to cover the minimum payments is because the interest rates are so high. And the interest rates are high because they’re only able to make the minimum payments. It’s a vicious cycle, to say the least."

Experts say good-to-great credit is 760 or above. A credit score score of 680 range is still considered good ( noting if you need credit, you’ll probably get it. It just may not be at a desirable interest rate ).720+ is typically a Good Score.800+ is typically a Great Score.650+ is typically minimum credit for loan. Question: What is a Good Credit Score? Understanding credit scores is requires understanding how the credit scoring works. Credit scoring gives creditors 3 digit numbers that are calculated according to a mathematical formula with the information in your credit report and how it compares to millions of other people’s credit. The credit score number predicts how likely, or unlikely, it is that you will pay your bills. The better a good credit score number is, the higher likelihood you’ll be accepted for the loan and at a lower interest rate. There are three different credit scoring models most often used by lenders to decide whether or not to extend an individual credit, but the most commonly used credit score is the FICO score."

Credit Card & Loan Options?by Jake Rustenhoven Last updated: February 26, 2018 92 Comments I recently had a question from one of our loyal visitors, I thought it was a great Q&A to share and explore a bit, here it is:“My credit score is 695. Is that considered a good number for a credit score? If not, how do I improve it?” -John B. from Texas. Short Answer: 695 is a “Fair” Credit Score Any credit score in the 650-699 range is generally considered “fair”. It doesn’t matter whether your score is 650, or 699 (or anything in between). A “fair” credit score is seen by many lenders to be an acceptable credit risk, usually approved for credit, but you will probably not receive the more competitive offers and rates that having a good credit score can provide. Any score below 700 could probably use some improvement. If you want some of the best rates and terms lenders have to offer, then you will want to work on raising your credit score to at least 725, which is considered by most to be well within the “good” range."

"text": "\"Home > Managing Debt Learning Center > The Best Ways to Get Rid of That Awful Credit Card Debt The Best Ways to Get Rid of That Awful Credit Card Debt Advertiser Disclosure May 11, 2017 by Brooke Niemeyer There is no one true “best” way to eliminate credit card debt, as doing so all depends on your individual situation. You can focus on getting each card paid off individually, transfer your balances to one card, ask for a lower interest rate or even get a loan to pay off the balances. Whatever your financial goals and dreams, however, paying off your credit card debt is a good step in the right direction. These pay-down tips and strategies will help you find out how to pay off your credit card debt.1. Pay Off the Balance with the Highest APR First This strategy is pretty straight forward: You look at all of your balances and the interest rates associated with each. Whichever one has the highest annual percentage rate (APR), that’s the one that gets the focus of being paid off first (while still making minimum payments on your other cards, of course). Once that card is entirely paid off, you move on to the one that has the next highest APR, and so on. From a monetary sense, this strategy may make the most sense, as it will cut out you spending so much on interest. To implement this, you simply boost your payments on that card up to whatever you can afford and stick with it. If you start by paying $150 extra on that credit card, keep paying at least $150 each month until the card is paid off."

"text": "Leasing a Car and Rent To Own Cars with Bad Credit Easy Smartphone Application + Fast Online Approval + Application Response In Seconds. Options for leasing a car and rent to own cars with bad credit are available to get you into a car and build up your low credit score at the same time. Rent to Own, Sign and Drive and Car Leasing So many times rent to own, sign and drive, and bad credit car lease deals can be a better option than waiting for your credit score to improve. If your credit rating is not high enough to qualify for a reasonably low APR auto loan, you are probably wondering how you are going to get financing to replace your old car. You may be checking your other options and considering a lease to own car. Due to personal financial circumstances, leasing a car with bad credit can be the best choice. However, many people might be under the impression that it is impossible to get a decent lease if you have bad credit. Auto leasing is a good choice if: You are interested in a “ new ” car You plan to put less than 15,000 miles on the car per year You have good to average credit You have dependable income and stable residence Local Lease and Rent To Own Cars Find the Biggest Discount on Vehicles Here!If the list above describes your situation, then you are a good candidate for an auto lease rather than a subprime car loan. However, before you run out and start shopping local lease and rent to own cars, we suggest spending some time learning the ins and outs of lease cars and compare other similar options such as rent to own and lease takeover programs. Rent to own is a good choice when compared to an auto loan or standard lease if: You want a new or “ used car “You plan to own the car at the end of the agreed term You have dependable income and stable residence You qualify for at least “a subprime car loan” with a small down payment Page Contents [ hide]1 Leasing a Car and Rent To Own Cars with Bad Credit1.1 Rent to Own, Sign and Drive and Car Leasing1.2 Local Lease and Rent To Own Cars1.3 How to Negotiate The Price of a Lease Car1.4 Four easy steps to a car lease with bad credit.2 Car Lease and Rent to Own Advantages2.1 The Cost of Lease Cars2.2 There Are Additional Fees To Consider When Planning Your Lease2.3 Leasing a Car With Bad Credit2.4 Calculating Lease Payments2.5 Can I Buy My Leased Car At The End Of The Lease?2.6 Rent To Own Financing vs. Auto Leasing2.7 Rent to Own Cars2.8 Key Points for Rent to Own Vehicles2.9 Benefits of Rent to Own2.10 Drawbacks of Rent to Own Cars2.11 Rent To Own Can Be Expensive2.12 The Sign and Drive Lease2.13 No Up-Front Lease Costs2.14 Getting The Car You Want2.15 “No Money Down”2.16 How to lease a car with bad credit.2.17 Lots Of Lease Terms2.18 Making Changes to the Lease2.19 Credit Requirements2.20 Can I Get Out Of My Lease Early?2.21 Payment Calculator2.22 The Bottom Line How to Negotiate The Price of a Lease Car With most car leases, the leasing companies become the owner of the car."

I may have gotten a t-shirt out of it too. The biggest appeal of the card? The fact that I could get one as a freshman with no income (the guy told me to put my tuition for salary… I'm pretty sure that wasn't legit). Fast forward a million years and I no longer have that card (it no longer exists, but for a while you could still see an application page for it and it's fantasti offer of 35 cents per minute domestic calls!) and instead use a series of three cards depending on the situation. All told, our total “credit limit” across every card (several of which are in the desk drawer) is over a hundred thousand dollars. How did we get that much credit? Simple. We just asked for more."

"text": "What is the average credit score and how can you improve yours? Chris Kissell @bankrate July 14, 2016 in Credit Sofie Delauw/Getty Images For many folks, keeping up with the Joneses is all about having the biggest house, flashiest car and best job. However, others — who are perhaps more financially astute — might prefer to lay claim to the best credit score. But before aspiring to be king of the credit mountain, it’s probably wise to simply pinpoint the average credit score and see if yours is above or below the number. What is the average credit score? A number often used to illustrate the state of credit use among American consumers. The most widely used credit score — the FICO score — is calculated by “dividing the sum of all U. S. consumers’ FICO scores by the number of consumers included in the calculation,” according to My FICO. The two best-known credit scores are the: FICO score (with an average credit score of 695)Vantage Score (with an average score of 673)Lenders look to several different credit scores when sizing up potential customers, but the FICO score and the Vantage Score are perhaps the 2 best known. Unveiled in 1989, the FICO score remains the credit score standard bearer. In fact, 90% of the largest financial institutions in the U. S. use FICO scores when making consumer credit judgments, according to my FICO, the consumer division of FICO."

"text": "FICO Score and Credit Tier Breakdown How Auto Lenders See You Your FICO Score can be the key that opens the door to approvals with low rates or the key that completely locks you out... Your all important FICO score will range from roughly 0-877 (depends on the credit bureau version) and is the major factor in determining what credit tier most lenders will place you in. Like the scales of justice, a lower score will equal higher interest rates and a higher score will equal much lower rates. Overall this can equal thousands of dollars in interest charges!It's well worth it to pay attention to yours as a big score is like a master key that opens many doors to many lenders, while a low score opens far fewer doors... Your FICO score is the first thing that most auto lenders will look at to determine: If they want to loan you money What credit tier you will fall into What rates you will qualify for What terms they will give you How much they will let you borrow How much down payment, if any, you may need The first thing you'll want to know when determining, or understanding, what credit tier you fall into (below) is how most lenders scoring models work. In other words, How Lenders See You!All auto lenders are not created equal, but share some common traits. The three main credit factors (besides score) all auto lenders look at when determining if they'll give you a loan and what credit tier you'll fall into are your: Ability Stability Past Credit History Don't pass the lenders minimum requirements in one of these categories and it doesn't matter what your FICO score is... You're not getting a loan!If you do pass those requirements, then your score is key to you getting the best rates. Keep in mind... A Higher FICO Score = Lower Monthly Payments!How’s your credit score? 700 US Average; 775+ Excellent. Find out your score now FREE with enrollment at Credit Report.com!FYI: The term FICO score is a general term used to describe your credit score. It's an abbreviation for Fair Isaac Corp. and most all credit reporting agencies determine your credit score using their risk model. If Equifax (one of the three major credit bureaus) is primarily used in your region of the country than BEACON score may be more commonly used than FICO score."

He had a 1000 bucks in the bank already which he could put towards it. His bank is the Bank of America, and his brother-in-law is already preapproved for a small loan with Citibank in Lexington as well. Their project and goal is quite simple. For the last 20 years they have been driving down to Lake Cumberland for summer boating activities and this is the favorite time of year for everyone in the family. They go into Jamestown Kentucky through Highway 92 coming in, and they usually drive south from Lexington through Nicholasville and then down Highway 27 all the way through Danville Kentucky, and then south on Highway 127 through Russell Springs. After that it’s just a short bit through Russell County, Jamestown and into the Lake Cumberland State resort Park. This little trek their family has been making for decades has been one that is looked forward to every year, and talked about all winter long.

"text": "\"List of Credit Card Companies, Card Networks & Major Cards Apr 4, 2018 | John S Kiernan, Senior Writer & Editor31SHARESCredit card companies are the banks and credit unions that issue credit cards to consumers and small business owners. They also service cardholders’ accounts, billing for purchases, accepting payments, distributing rewards and more. Examples of major credit card companies include Bank of America, Barclaycard, Citibank, Chase, Capital One and Wells Fargo. Credit card networks play a different role. They dictate where credit cards can be used, facilitate payment processing at the point of sale and administer secondary credit card benefits, such as rental car insurance, travel insurance and extended warranties. The four major card networks are Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. See 2018's Best Credit Cards The names of both a credit card’s issuer and its network are listed on the front of the card. The only exceptions are store credit cards, which don’t belong to a card network and can only be used at the retailers they’re affiliated with. The tricky part is that two of the world’s largest card networks – American Express and Discover – also issue credit cards. As a result, credit cards on the Amex and Discover networks are mostly issued by those two companies."

Does it increase credit scores? How does it work? Is it Effective? The practice of adding an authorized user to your credit card to help someone build his credit or increase her credit score has been around for a long time. It was originally most prevalent with parents trying to help their children with their credit history. This is also very common among spouses, for both convenience and for one spouse to help the other with their credit worthiness. Even partners, other family members and close friends frequently made use of this valuable arrangement. Though adding an authorized user to the card of an individual with great credit can be an excellent method for building credit and increasing the authorized user’s credit scores, it isn’t always effective, and it shouldn’t be used in every situation. When the practice moved into a profit making endeavor, the term piggybacking began to crop up."

In addition if you have an American Express issued card in another country it’s possible to use this relationship and the associated credit history you have with them to get approved (although you’ll still most likely need to call reconsideration to do so, if you’re not familiar with reconsideration phone calls, please read this first ). [ Read: Credit Card Reconsideration Phone Numbers]In addition to this it’s also possible to move existing cards from your home country to American Express USA (and from American Express USA to other countries) via American Express’ Global Card Transfer program. If you do a card transfer you should keep in mind you won’t receive a sign up bonus, and you won’t be able to receive a sign up bonus again on that card (because American Express cards have a once per lifetime rule ). Bank of America Bof A allows you to apply for a credit card with an ITIN, but it’s necessary to go into a Bank of America branch to apply without a SSN."

View the current offers here – The Business Gold Rewards Card from American Express OPEN , The Platinum Card from American Express,Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card One of the most important things to know when applying for multiple credit cards at a time is which credit bureau each bank pulls your credit report from. There are three main credit bureaus or credit reporting agencies (CRAs) that banks and credit card companies use to pull credit reports from – Equifax, Experian and Trans Union. Which credit card issuer uses which credit reporting agency can determine whether your credit card application is successful, especially when applying for multiple cards especially in a short amount of time (either on the same day or consecutive ones), since if the applications are going to the same bureau it could affect your chances of being approved. If the issuers are going to different bureaus, one issuer likely will not see that you’re applying for a card from another issuer and your chances of being approved for several cards should increase. Multiple credit card applications – especially if refused – can reduce your FICO score, so it’s important to know what you’re getting into before attempting to apply for several cards at once. Credit card companies will refer to the three main credit reporting agencies when you apply for a new card."

Citi® Diamond Preferred® Card delivers on both fronts, ditching an annual fee altogether.

Loans are necessary for most future homebuyers because they cannot afford to pay cash upfront. How hard is it to buy a house? While lenders look at your income, debt and savings when making mortgage decisions, your credit score is the biggest factor in determining whether you get approved or rejected for financing.

If you are one of the millions of people considering foreclosure or a short sale, you need to read this post first and understand all the consequences before proceeding. If you are already in foreclosure or going through a short sale, then you should check your latest credit score and figure out how to climb out of purgatory. A foreclosure and a short sale have similar negative hits on your credit score. A foreclosure is generally worse because you are not working with your bank whom you owe money to settle your debts. A short sale, on the other hand is debt forgiveness. Your bank agrees to forgive the difference between the sale and what you owe. Just be aware you will probably have to pay taxes on your deficiency. There is no free lunch."

The amount I want to borrow is about $80,000. — Rachel Dear Rachel, Land loans are different from mortgages for home purchases. For lenders, land loans are riskier because the loan’s collateral, the property, isn’t being used for housing, at least in the near term. That makes it easier for an owner to walk away and leave the lender stuck with the land. Because of that risk, down payments and interest rates are higher for land loans than for mortgage loans."

Few of us, however, are familiar with the credit score’s cousin: the Chex Systems score that documents your banking activity. Chex Systems is a consumer reporting agency that tracks and reports on individual consumers’ history with deposit accounts. Using the information in this report plus other sources of data, such as your credit report, public records and payday loan history, Chex Systems calculates a numeric score that it calls a Quali File Score. To keep things simple, we’ll refer to it as a Chex Systems score throughout the rest of this guide. Your Chex Systems score is primarily used to predict your future banking behavior and the prospect that you will mismanage your account — in other words, how risky it is for a bank to open an account for you. It contrasts with your credit score, which prospective lenders and creditors use for making credit decisions, though your Chex Systems Score may be used for such purposes as well. Keep in mind, however, that not all banks will use your Chex Systems score to evaluate your application to open a bank account. Some refer only to your detailed Chex Systems report. Others pull your information from similar consumer reporting agencies such as Early Warning Systems or Tele Check."

Heck, you should want to know too. After all, if you can’t afford to buy it, you’ll be wasting everyone’s time, including your own. Aside from affordability concerns, you may find other issues that disqualify you from obtaining a mortgage ( do I qualify for a mortgage ?). And these issues aren’t always obvious, especially to the first-time home buyer who has never obtained a home loan before. You might think you’re good to go, but because of the nuanced and ever-changing mortgage landscape, it’s better to know for sure. [ See today's mortgage rates from dozens of lenders, updated daily . ] As noted, real estate agents and home sellers will want to be certain that you’re committed to buying a home, as opposed to those just casually browsing, so they don’t miss out on a legitimate buyer in the process. After all, if it’s between you and another qualified buyer, and they pick you, without knowing you can obtain a mortgage, it’ll be a tough sell to go back to that other buyer after the fact. They’ll lose a lot of leverage, assuming that other buyer sticks even around."

One possible reason business owners confuse an EIN with a D-U-N-S Number is because they are both 9-digit numbers that identify a business. They are also both free numbers that can act in much the same fashion as social security number can do for an individual. One of the differences between the two is that a D-U-N-S Number is affiliated with a company’s business credit profile, and an EIN is not. You are not issued a D-U-N-S Number when you apply for an EIN because EINs are issued by the IRS for tax purposes and D-U-N-S Numbers are issued by Dun & Bradstreet, for credit reporting purposes.

"text": "\"Your New Custom Home: Refinancing a Construction Loan By Gina Pogol on February 7th, 2011If you are finally planning to build your dream home, you'll probably need to arrange a construction loan: housing data from the 2000 Census indicate that only about 20% of those building a custom home have the means to pay cash. Here are some tips for financing construction of your dream home. Construction Loans Construction loans are short-term mortgages lasting only through the actual home construction process. Your construction loan can be used to purchase the building lot, and will disburse funds for each of the major phases of construction (i.e., foundation, framing, plumbing, and finish work) until the home is complete. Upon completion of the home, your construction loan becomes due for repayment, and traditional long-term \"\"permanent\"\" financing comes into play. Two types of borrowers typically seek straight construction loans: Owner-builders: Owner-builders act as their own contractors. Because there is no way for the lender to be certain beforehand that the home will truly be owner-occupied (instead of marketed as a speculative home), owner-builders are typically limited to a straight construction loan. Rate Shoppers: Rate shoppers simply want to be free to shop for the best permanent mortgage rate when the construction is over, then refinance to their permanent home loan. The primary risk of not arranging permanent financing prior to construction is that, if for some reason you do not qualify for permanent financing upon completion of the home, you may be forced to sell your dream home without ever having lived there--or else face exorbitant interest rates from a \"\"private\"\" lending source, if you can find any. Construction-To-Perm Loans A construction-to-permanent loan (often called \"\"construction-to-perm\"\") combines a construction loan with a permanent, long-term mortgage."

You’ll watch your family grow over decades within its four walls, creating lasting memories that will transform your house a home. You’ll also shell out an obscene amount of money. If you put 10 percent down on a $300,000 home with a 30-year fixed mortgage at 4.33 percent interest, you’ll owe nearly $213,000 in interest over the course of the loan. That means (a bunch of) signatures on your mortgage contract will compel you to more than half a million dollars over the next three decades in exchange for a half acre of real estate. And the clock is ticking. Home prices, thanks to an improving economy and lack of inventory, are rising, as are mortgage rates. The adaptable and nimble, ready to jump and with savings on hand, are best positioned to take advantage. Here’s what you need to do to get a mortgage today.1.

In addition to your ability to pay for a mortgage (as indicated by your debts and income), FHA will look at your ability to repay as indicated by your credit report. Your willingness will be judged by your credit report records -- that is, how well you've paid your loans and other debts in the past. If you are unsure what your credit report is like, you may want to begin by getting a free credit report that you can view immediately online by clicking >> Here. To help you understand why credit is important and why FHA will look at your credit, please try to understand the following: Perfect credit is what you are supposed to have. Whenever you borrower money (credit cards, auto loans, student loans, etc.) you are making a commitment to that creditor to pay them back on the terms mutually agreed upon. If you are late making the payment then you broke the commitment and the lender can indicate this on your credit report. The lender does not know why you are late, they just know that you broke the commitment agreed upon. They are not responsible on helping you manage your bills and debt, as they simply make and offer and the borrower accepts the terms. This is why your credit is very important in qualifying for a home loan."

The exact length depends on several factors, including the type of bankruptcy and the type of home loan you’d like to get.

September 11, 2012 - When you apply for an FHA mortgage, you'll need to provide a set of required documents and paperwork that contains the information a lender needs to process your FHA home loan properly. FHA loan applications include requests for detailed information on your credit and job history, but there is often supporting documentation required to help the lender perform the \"\"mortgage credit analysis\"\". Not all of these documents are supplied directly by you, the loan applicant, but some of the lender-generated paperwork requires the borrower's permission in writing to accomplish. This includes the borrower's written consent given to the lender to request credit reports from the three major credit reporting agencies Equifax, Trans Union, and Experian. Required documentation also includes what the FHA terms \"\"evidence of a Social Security number\"\" -- your Social Security card or other documents the lender may accept as proof of your number. Ask your loan officer what documents may be acceptable in place of a missing Social Security card if necessary, or what could act as a stand-in until your replacement Social Security card arrives. When it's time for the lender to perform a verification of your employment data, he or she will be exploring the information you provided in your application for the FHA home loan or refinancing loan including calls to your employer and other steps. These calls and verifications are documented as required by FHA loan rules and bank policies.

But with the median listing price for homes on the market at just over $250,000, according to Zillow, most homebuyers need to finance their purchase with a mortgage instead of paying cash. Finding the right mortgage loan is arguably just as important as finding the right property. You’ll be paying off your mortgage for years, and the best terms can save you thousands of dollars over time. This guide explains how mortgages work, the basics of mortgage fees and the mortgage process, and the different types of loans available. You’ll get an overview of the top mortgage lenders in the United States so you can find the best deal for your loan. How Mortgages Work When you take out a mortgage, you borrow money from a bank or other lender to buy your home. A mortgage is a secured loan with your home as collateral, so the lender will hold the title to the property until the loan is paid in full.

You must meet the other loan requirements, and your payment could be higher for a lower credit score, but you still have the opportunity to buy a house. FHA Loan Basics FHA loans are insured by the federal government. All FHA loans must have extra insurance, called private mortgage insurance (PMI), paid for by the borrower. PMI is an expensive premium insurance added to the monthly mortgage payment. This protects against a borrower's inability to repay the loan. First-time homebuyers often prefer FHA loans because of lower down-payment requirements, in part because of PMI protection."

"text": "Home Loans Mortgage Refinance Can I Refinance? Refinance Requirements for Your Mortgage Holly Johnson February 13th, 2018While there are many reasons to refinance a mortgage, one of the biggest factors at play is whether or not you’ll be able to get a better interest rate. When interest rates drop, homeowners are incentivized to refinance into a new mortgage with a lower rate and better terms because it can potentially save them a boatload of money over the course of their loan. Not only can refinancing save money on interest payments, but it can lead to lower monthly payments, or be a way to get rid of a pesky primary mortgage insurance requirement once you’ve earned enough equity in your home. Homeowners can also tinker with their repayment timeline when they refinance, choosing to lengthen their loan term or even shorten it to pay off their home faster. The first question before you refinance your mortgage is simple: Does it make financial sense? Refinancing a mortgage comes with the same closing costs and fees as a regular mortgage, so you must stand to earn more by refinancing than you’ll pay to do it. If you’ve had the same mortgage rate since the aughts or earlier, chances are you could have much to gain by refinancing in today’s lower rate environment. The average interest rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage hit a low point of 3.31% on Nov. 21, 2012 and hasn’t budged all too much since then. Rates currently stand at 4.32% as of Feb. 8, 2018."

FHA Loan Limits How to Get an FHA Loan FHA Loan Interest Rates What is an FHA Loan? An FHA loan is a mortgage that’s insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). They are popular especially among first time home buyers because they allow down payments of 3.5% for credit scores of 580+. However, borrowers must pay mortgage insurance premiums, which protects the lender if a borrower defaults. Borrowers can qualify for an FHA loan with a down payment as little as 3.5% for a credit score of 580 or higher. The borrower’s credit score can be between 500 – 579 if a 10% down payment is made. It’s important to remember though, that the lower the credit score, the higher the interest borrowers will receive. The FHA program was created in response to the rash of foreclosures and defaults that happened in 1930s; to provide mortgage lenders with adequate insurance; and to help stimulate the housing market by making loans accessible and affordable for people with less than stellar credit or a low down payment."

This means that DU will approve a borrower with a credit score even if the borrower does not have any open trade lines. With a credit score of 580 few lenders will allow you to buy a home with only 3.5% down payment. And if you wanted to refinance again few lenders will let you refinance up to 96.5% of the value of your home.

Refinancing With Low Credit Scores Requirements for Refinancing a Mortgage Which FICO Score Do Mortgage Lenders Use? As a rule of thumb, you'll need a \"\"fair\"\" credit score above 580 to qualify for Federal Housing Administration refinancing programs. Some streamline programs, where you refinance from one FHA loan to another FHA loan, have no minimum score. Conventional lenders require higher minimums, and to qualify for better-than-average interest rates, you'll need a score above 740. FHA Starts Around 580The FHA operates a low-paperwork, fast-track refinance program for existing FHA borrowers. Homeowners who qualify for a streamline refinance can replace their FHA mortgage with another FHA mortgage without going through the usual credit checks. In other words, you can qualify for a streamline program with any credit score. Homeowners who aren't eligible for a streamline must meet the FHA's minimum credit score of 580. Some FHA lenders will go as low as 500, but with that score, you're unlikely to qualify for the best rates."

Some of the changes come as part of new laws that close legal loopholes, improve the fairness of the FHA mortgage loan process, or modernize the FHA loan program. Other alterations are made in response to current market conditions and economic issues. Because of the changing nature of the FHA home loan program, the information new house hunters may have gathered a year or two ago when considering a new home may not be the same if they chose to wait to start the loan application process. This is definitely the case for any potential borrower who investigated their FHA loan options recently. FHA issued new guidance in the last several years on the minimum credit scores needed for certain FHA guaranteed home loans. Minimum credit score requirements for FHA home loans depend on which FHA loan product the applicant needs. Generally speaking, to get maximum financing on typical new home purchases, applicants should have a credit score of 580 or better. Those with credit scores between 500 and 579 are, according the the FHA guidelines, \"\"limited to 90 percent LTV\"\". Applicants who have a minimum decision credit score of less than 500 are not eligible for FHA mortgages."

With low down payments and lenient credit requirements, they're often a good choice for first-time homebuyers and others with modest financial resources. FHA mortgage guidelines allow down payments of as little as 3.5 percent, so you don't need a big pile of cash to successfully apply for a loan. Credit requirements are less strict than for conventional mortgages, putting these government home loans in reach of borrowers with short credit histories or flawed credit. And FHA mortgage rates are very competitive. You can use an FHA mortgage to buy a home, refinance an existing mortgage or get funds for repairs or improvements as part of your home purchase loan. If you already have an FHA home loan, there's a streamline refinance option that speeds qualifying and makes it easier to get approved. There's also an FHA reverse mortgage that allows senior citizens to borrow against their home equity but not have to repay the loan as long as they remain in the home.

"text": "Best Mortgage Refinance Lenders Find out how you can refinance your mortgage and get a lower rate, access cash or lock in a low rate. By U. S. News Staff | March 27, 2018, at 8:00 a.m. Mortgage interest rates are historically low, and the conditions are excellent for U. S. homeowners to refinance a home loan. Often, homeowners refinance to get a lower interest rate, access cash, lock in a low fixed rate or shorten their loan term. A home is the single largest asset many consumers have, so the stakes are high when refinancing. With this guide, you can learn how mortgage refinancing works and how you can choose the right lender. How Mortgage Refinancing Works A mortgage is a loan from a bank or other lender that you use to buy a piece of real estate. The property you purchase is used as collateral against the loan. A mortgage refinance trades an existing mortgage for a new one. The lender pays off the old loan, and you begin making payments on the new loan. Types of Mortgage Refinancing Loans Conventional Mortgages Most mortgages are conventional."

Additionally, FHA borrowers are required to pay for mortgage insurance (MIP) to protect the lender in the event of a default. FHA loans are flexible and accessible Home buyers today don't often buy homes with 20% down. Low- and no-downpayment mortgages remain popular with first-time buyers and repeat buyers alike; and one of the most popular low-downpayment mortgage program is the FHA loan via the Federal Housing Administration. Nearly 1 in 5 U. S. buyers uses an FHA loan to finance a home purchase. The program's popularity, in part, is because buyers can make downpayments of just 3.5 percent via the FHA. But, there are other reasons why FHA loans are in demand, too. In addition to loose underwriting standards, FHA mortgage rates are lower than comparable conventional rates; and FHA loans can be assumed by a home's subsequent buyer.

June 6th, 2011 | Author: Stephanie Shopping in Best Buy can give customers huge savings when buying consumer electronics and other peripherals. Due to the nature of its products, Best Buy customers often find it inconvenient to bring much money to buy their electronics. Fortunately, Best Buy has been offering special Best Buy credit cards that allow customers to buy with huge savings when they purchase items from its more than one thousand outlets. However, before applying for one, customers must know what the minimum credit score to get a Best Buy credit card is. There are two types of Best Buy credit cards in use today. The first credit card is the HSBC Best Buy credit card offered by the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. The second credit card is the official Best Buy credit card offered by the store itself. It is a good thing to note that the credit score to get a Best Buy credit card from both types can be different from each other. The HSBC Best buy credit card, which is issued by the HSBC Bank, is intended for the personal use of consumers who have a respectable and fairly good credit history."

"text": "Money Made Easy Articles Getting a mortgage with a small deposit Getting a mortgage with a small deposit Mortgage lenders are quick to boast about helping first-time buyers with smaller deposits – but the truth is most of the effort will have to come from you.by Laura Howard Money expert Published on Tuesday 24 Jan 2012If you are preparing to buy your first home this year, you’ve doubtless been saving hard to scrape together the minimum 10% deposit required by these days by mortgage lenders – no easy feat at more than £16,000 on an average-priced property. A glance at the ‘10% deposit’ mortgage tables will reveal a number of lenders offering deals in return for your efforts including HSBC, Santander and Leeds and Chelsea building societies. The cold reality is, however, that even if you have saved up enough, you may still fail to meet mortgage lenders’ strict criteria. The reality of 90% mortgages According to experts, the vast majority of mortgage applicants with the minimum 10% deposit are turned down as, regardless of what banks and building societies advertise, the loans are still considered high risk and lenders want to limit their exposure to this. David Hollingworth at broker London & Country, said: “Just because a lender says it offers a 90% mortgage, doesn’t mean it has to give it to you. There are still very few deals available at that borrowing level which means criteria are especially tight. ”Whether you are shown the red or green light for your 10% deposit, will hinge mainly on your credit score. But, while the big banks will access your credit report from one or more of the UK’s credit reference agencies, they also employ their own scoring system to run alongside it – and this is the main problem first-timers face, says Hollingworth. “Not only do credit scoring models vary between lenders, applicants never get to see them so the process is not at all transparent. What’s more, the lender doesn’t have to explain why it has turned you down – it’s enough that you simply don’t meet its own level of credit score for that application."

If your agreement states that you have a hard limit of, let's say $5k, and your purchases amount to $5,001, then your latest purchase will be declined and you will have to come up with some new method of payment if you want to complete that transaction. If your agreement states that the company will honor transactions in excess of the existing credit limit, then you can expect a fee for that (to accept the payment - aka make you a new line of credit on top of existing limit) and an additional corresponding interest charge if you don't pay it all off before the due date. If you were asking if anything should happen to your credit score, then the answer depends if you are going to pay your bill on time and according to the requirements (either in full by due date or at least minimum payment by due date) - if you can do that, then your payments will be reported as \"\"in line with agreement\"\" and you are in the clear.

"text": "Wire Transfers: What Are They and How Much Do They Cost? Wire transfers are a form of electronic payment service that enable you to send money from one bank account to another quickly and securely. Your financial institution will charge you fees for each transfer, whether you are sending or receiving the wire. These costs are mostly standard across a given bank, with minor exceptions. The price of a wire transfer is dependent on two factors: whether it is incoming or outgoing, and whether it is a domestic or international transaction. Average Cost of Wire Transfers Of the 11 different national banks we researched, we found that the average fee associated with each type of transfer was $13.88 for an incoming domestic wire, $28.13 for an outgoing domestic, $17.50 for an incoming international and $49.66 for an outgoing international. The following table lists the fee range for each wire transfer type at the following banks: Bank Incoming Domestic Outgoing Domestic Incoming International Outgoing International Bank of America $0-$15 $30 $16 $45Capital One $0 $30 - -Chase $0-$15 $35 $0-$15 $50Citi $0-15 $17.50-$35 $0-15 $25-$45HSBC $0-$15 * $0-15 *PNC $0-$15 $0-$30 $15 $45Sun Trust $15 $25 $30 $50TD $0-15 $25 $0-$15 $40US Bank $20 $30 $25 $50Wells Fargo $15 $30 $16 $45BB&T $15 $25 $18 $65- Capital One 360 does not currently offer international wire transfer services* HSBC does not list rates for outgoing domestic and foreign wire transfers until the time of transaction. However, a representative stated that the fees would most likely be in a range from $20-$35.

I PIF with autopay on all my cards, but I'm now realizing that $10K is quite tight for the amounts I'm putting on this card. I'll often have to pay down the balance before the due date, which will be a nuisance. $10K is one of the lowest CLs I have. Should I even bother trying to CLI it so soon? Is it too late to call the recon line to ask for more without causing another HP? Note that I also applied for two more cards after this one, which were approved. My score when I got the card was 741 and it was slightly higher when I got one of the next ones (753 IIRC).

"text": "NGO Lists Companies, Countries Most Responsible for Deforestationby Leon Kaye on Wednesday, Feb 11th, 2015Share Deforestation is a growing problem, and an NGO says companies and investors are not doing enough. Despite promises from companies stating that they are committed to stopping deforestation, the United Kingdom’s Global Canopy Program (GCP) insists more needs to be done to halt this worldwide problem. To that end, the GCP has assembled what it calls the Forest 500, which includes a list of 250 countries, 150 investors and 50 countries that together largely control the global timber supply chain. In a nutshell, this group of stakeholders controls about $1.7 trillion in shareholdings that are exposed to “forest risk commodities.” These actors, from Fortune 500 companies to the world’s largest financial institutions, have revenues exceeding $4.5 trillion while dominating the global supply chains of soy, beef, leather, palm oil, timber, and pulp and paper. Corporate promises aside, the GCP insists that this group has much to do in guaranteeing the survival of the world’s forests. The study, however, does acknowledge that some of the individual companies have done much to confront deforestation — but as a group they need to do much more. So, who are some of the success stories? According to the analysts who came up with the Forest 500, only a few companies ranked highly, as in earning a perfect 5 out of 5: Groupe Danone, Kao Corp, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, Reckitt Benckiser Group and Unilever. Overall, consumer-facing home care, cosmetics and personal care companies fared well in this study."

"text": "One Day Late Credit Card Payment You are here: Home / One Day Late Credit Card Paymentby Credit Card Forum Staff Q: I was one day late on a credit card payment. What will happen and what can I do about it? A: The Credit CARD Act of 2009 stipulates that banks have to give you at least a 21-day grace period for payments, between the end of a billing cycle and the date the minimum payment for that cycle is due. Some issuers allow longer grace periods. However if you do your bills through the mail, there can be a lag between the time your issuer mails your bill and the time you receive it. That could mean you won’t have a full 21 days to make your credit card payment. What happens if you were out of town, in the hospital, or endured some unusual events that month? Long story short, late payments can and do happen to even the most diligent pay in full credit card customers. But what’s particularly frustrating is a one-day late credit card payment… because it’s often treated the exact same as if you were a whole week or two late! This is because anything between 1 and 30 days late is viewed as the same in the eyes of creditors."

"text": "How Long Do Balance Transfers Take? Balance transfer Q&A: “How long do balance transfers take?”One drawback to credit card balance transfers is that they can take a while to process – they are usually not instant, even if you are approved instantly. Unfortunately, once you accept a balance transfer offer, it could take several weeks for your new account to be setup and the balance transfer payment to be processed. If you’re opening a new credit card and executing a balance transfer at the same time, which is pretty common, it’ll probably take a good two weeks for the payment to be made, although some issuers say three weeks or more. It could take only a few days, but that will depend on the credit card issuer in question. If you’re transferring a balance to an existing credit card you have, it may be quicker, but there’s still no guarantee it will be fast. If you ordered a balance transfer check, it’ll probably take a week or so to get the check, and additional time to deposit the check and have it clear. Although, if you happen to get checks in the mail, it could only take a day or two to clear in your checking account. This is probably your fastest option, though perhaps not the cheapest if there are better offers out there such as a no fee balance transfer. Expect Balance Transfer to Take a Few Weeks Regardless, as a good rule of thumb, never assume a balance transfer will take less than a few weeks."

The official (government-imposed) minimum credit score for an FHA home loan is 500. In order to take advantage of the 3.5% down-payment option, however, you will need a score of 580 or higher. Borrowers with scores between 500 and 579 are required to put more money down, at least 10%. Mortgage lenders frequently set their own minimum credit-score requirements for FHA loans, and they are usually higher than the official cutoff. In 2017, most lenders want to see a score of 600 or higher."

But what do you need to qualify for an FHA Streamline loan? To begin, you need an existing FHA mortgage-if you don't have an FHA loan but want to refinance, your options include conventional refinancing or applying for an FHA refinancing loan. If you have a conventional loan you wish to refinance with an FHA refinancing loan, you'll need to apply with the usual credit check, employment verification, debt-to-income ratio requirements and other considerations. An FHA Refinancing loan can get you many of the same results-if you refinance from a conventional loan to an FHA-insured refinancing loan you may get better rates and lower payments. For those who do have an FHA home loan, the other requirements for FHA Streamline include: Being current on the existing loan with all mortgage payments made on time for the last year. You must own the original property for at least six months before you can qualify for refinancing. To refinance you'll need an FHA-approved lender. If you don't want to use your current lender, any bank you choose must be FHA approved. FHA Streamline loans do not require an appraisal, but a no-appraisal loan cannot exceed your current loan."

An FHA loan attracts home buyers with low incomes and those needing low down payments who may not qualify for conventional mortgages. It also appeals to lenders because of the protection it offers – and while the FHA doesn’t actually give the loans, they insure them. So if homeowners default on the loans, the lender is protected from the loss by the FHA insurance. However, in order to get FHA insurance on a home loan, the lender must follow the FHA loan requirements in approving and setting up the loan.

"text": "Banking and Loans Home Loans FHA Loan Basics: Pros and Cons of Borrowing With FHA Financing Low Down Payment and Credit Requirements Share Flip Pin Email•••By Justin Pritchard Updated January 09, 2018Loans from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) are popular because they allow you to buy a home with a relatively small down payment. Designed to promote home ownership, FHA loans make it easier to qualify for a mortgage—even with less-than-perfect credit. But FHA loans are not right for everybody, so it pays to understand how they work and when they work best. What is an FHA Loan? An FHA loan is a home loan that is issued by a private lender and insured by the FHA. The U. S. government, through the FHA, provides a guarantee to lenders: If you fail to repay the loan, the FHA will reimburse the lender for you. Because of this guarantee, lenders are willing to make substantial mortgage loans in cases when they’d otherwise be unwilling approve mortgage applications. With the taxing authority of the U. S. Treasury behind it, the FHA has the resources to deliver on that promise. Why are They so Great? FHA loans are not perfect, but they are a great fit in some situations."

As you may know, FHA loans offer more competitive rates and more flexibility regarding qualifying documentation. FHA (Federal Housing Administration) does not give loans. FHA guarantees loans and provides guidelines to banks that offer FHA loans. If the Lenders and banks want FHA to guarantee or insure their loans, then they have to comply with FHA's rules.

Additionally, FHA borrowers are required to pay for mortgage insurance (MIP) to protect the lender in the event of a default. FHA loans are flexible and accessible Home buyers today don't often buy homes with 20% down. Low- and no-downpayment mortgages remain popular with first-time buyers and repeat buyers alike; and one of the most popular low-downpayment mortgage program is the FHA loan via the Federal Housing Administration. Nearly 1 in 5 U. S. buyers uses an FHA loan to finance a home purchase. The program's popularity, in part, is because buyers can make downpayments of just 3.5 percent via the FHA. But, there are other reasons why FHA loans are in demand, too.

FHA Streamline loans are very attractive because they don't require a credit check or income verification. If you have an FHA mortgage, you've already passed these qualification checks-you've already proven you are a good credit risk for an FHA-guaranteed loan. Because of this, you don't need to calculate a debt-to-income ratio for the new FHA Streamline loan, but it's always a good idea to have a second look at your finances for your own information. Under FHA Streamline, you can choose not to have your home re-appraised--the original appraisal is used to calculate your loan amount. The caveat?"

In recent years, FHA loans surged in popularity, largely because subprime lending (and Alt-A) was all but extinguished as a result of the ongoing mortgage crisis. Simply put, the FHA stepped in to fill the void after private lenders closed up shop. Some even claim FHA loans are the “new subprime,” mainly because of the low down payment and credit score requirements, despite originally being geared toward low and moderate-income borrowers. But you don’t have to be a subprime borrower to take advantage of an FHA loan. In fact, some borrowers may have excellent credit and still go the FHA route because it makes more financial sense.

"text": "FHA Loans: Everything You Need to Know What Is an FHA Loan?“ FHA loans ” are mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which can be issued by any FHA-approved lender in the United States. Congress established the FHA in 1934 to help lower income borrowers obtain a mortgage who otherwise would have trouble qualifying. In 1965, the FHA became part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Office of Housing. Before the FHA was created, it was common for homeowners to put down a staggering 50% of the value of the property as a down payment on short-term balloon mortgages, which clearly wasn’t practical going forward. Unlike conventional home loans, FHA loans are government-backed, which protects lenders against defaults, making it possible to for them to offer prospective borrowers more competitive interest rates on traditionally more risky loans. [ See today's mortgage rates from dozens of lenders, updated daily . ] An FHA home loan works like any other mortgage in that you borrow a certain amount of money from a lender and pay it back, typically over 30 years via fixed mortgages. The main distinction is that FHA loans charge both upfront and monthly mortgage insurance premiums, often for the life of the loan. However, they also come with low down payment and credit score requirements, making them one of the easier home loans to qualify for."

"text": "650-699 Credit Score – Good Or Bad? Credit Card & Loan Options?by Jake Rustenhoven Last updated: February 26, 2018 92 Comments I recently had a question from one of our loyal visitors, I thought it was a great Q&A to share and explore a bit, here it is:“My credit score is 695. Is that considered a good number for a credit score? If not, how do I improve it?” -John B. from Texas. Short Answer: 695 is a “Fair” Credit Score Any credit score in the 650-699 range is generally considered “fair”. It doesn’t matter whether your score is 650, or 699 (or anything in between). A “fair” credit score is seen by many lenders to be an acceptable credit risk, usually approved for credit, but you will probably not receive the more competitive offers and rates that having a good credit score can provide. Any score below 700 could probably use some improvement. If you want some of the best rates and terms lenders have to offer, then you will want to work on raising your credit score to at least 725, which is considered by most to be well within the “good” range."

Those who have purchased a home before will notice some important changes in FHA rules that affect not only the cost of FHA loans, but also how an FHA loan can be applied for and approved. For borrowers, one of the most important alterations to FHA loan requirements is in the area of credit scores. New FHA borrowers must have a minimum credit score of 580 to qualify for the FHA's most favorable down payment plan, currently at 3.5%. Borrowers with credit scores of less than a 580 FICO score will be required to put at least 10% down. It's important to understand that having a credit score of less than 580 does NOT disqualify applicants from getting an FHA loan, but the down payment requirements are stricter under the announced guidelines. Up Front Mortgage Insurance premiums have increased to 2.25% for all FHA case numbers assigned after April 5th, 2010 for purchase money mortgages, plus the FHA's Streamline Refinance program and full-credit qualifying refinances. Seller concessions have also changed. The FHA has lowered seller concessions from 6% to 3% in a move FHA officials say is designed to eliminate the temptation to inflate the appraised value of a home for sale. Another important change involves increased transparency in the FHA loan process."

Read full question Bill's Answer 5 Comments3.8 /5.0 (5 Votes)By Bills Staff Published: Mar 11, 2009Thanks for your question, Bob. Depending on how long ago your wife settled this debt, it is possible that the creditor has not yet updated its information on her credit reports to show that the account has been settled and should reflect a $0 balance. Most creditors report updated information to the bureaus once a month, so your wife should pull her credit reports around 45 to 60 days after the account was paid to verify that the account is reporting accurately. You and your wife can request free copies of your credit reports by visiting Annual Credit Report.com. If the information for the settled account is not updated on her credit report within 45 to 60 days of the date it was settled, you should consider contacting the creditor about the inaccurate reporting. The creditor should be willing to update the information voluntarily if you point out the error; if that fails, the credit bureaus should remove the inaccurate listing if you provide proof that the account was paid. See the Federal Trade Commission document FTC Facts for Consumers: How to Dispute Credit Report Errors for more information. As for your wife’s credit score, there is no guarantee that paying off a single account will improve her credit rating. There are simply too many factors that go into calculating a credit score to make a broad statement as to the effect of paying off any single account. If your wife is concerned about increasing her credit rating, I suggest that she take more direct action to try to rebuild her credit."

When it comes to mortgages and credit scores, there are two really important questions to ask: What credit score do I need to qualify for a mortgage? What credit score do I need to get the lowest interest rate on a mortgage? These different, but related, questions are important if you are looking to buy a home.

Conventional lenders require higher minimums, and to qualify for better-than-average interest rates, you'll need a score above 740.

Homeowners who qualify for a streamline refinance can replace their FHA mortgage with another FHA mortgage without going through the usual credit checks. In other words, you can qualify for a streamline program with any credit score. Homeowners who aren't eligible for a streamline must meet the FHA's minimum credit score of 580.

You’ve probably seen plenty of media press about low mortgage rates today. Do you know what that really means and how it benefits you when it comes to mortgage refinancing? Lower interest rates equate to smaller monthly mortgage payments, but the decision to refinance your home should not be based on mortgage rates alone. You need an experienced, Florida mortgage broker to give you the facts and help you decide if now is the time for you to take advantage of these low rates. Who Should Consider a Florida Mortgage Refinance? Below we have provided some basic information regarding common home financing options.

Please see our page on lowering your monthly mortgage payment for more details about what you should consider when evaluating your options.

"text": "How a No Cost Refinance Loan Really Works You may have seen ads for a “no cost refi” loan lately, a mortgage program that promises no fees or out-of-pocket expenses when you refinance your existing mortgage. While this type of offer is by no means a new concept, it’s definitely a subject worth visiting to ensure people understand what they’re getting when they choose a no cost refinance option. What Is a No Cost Refinance? A refinance usually results in out-of-pocket costs To account for lender fees and third-party services A no cost version means you don’t pay these fees But you might wind up with a higher rate A no cost refinance is essentially a loan transaction in which the lender or broker pays settlement costs, including typical lender fees such as processing and underwriting fees, the appraisal fee, and loan origination points, along with third party costs like title/escrow fees and so on. You may be asking yourself how banks and lenders make up for the absence of fees that normally must be paid during a refinance (or purchase) transaction. [ See today's mortgage rates from dozens of lenders, updated daily . ] Well, assuming the lender actually pays your closings costs, doing so will bump up your interest rate, sometimes dramatically, in order to make up for the missing fees that are typically charged at closing. No Cost Loan = Higher Mortgage Rate The tradeoff for a home loan with no fees is a higher interest rate It’s not a freebie (no one works for free)Though it might be possible to get the best of both worlds If you take the time to shop around It’s a simple trade – pay nothing now, but pay more over the life of the loan in the form of a higher mortgage rate. For some borrowers, a no cost loan is a necessity because they don’t have the required funds to pay all the fees at closing, but for others it’s a decision that will need to be made during the loan process. Keep in mind that mortgage brokers can also set up a no cost loan for you, adjusting their yield-spread premium (commission) to the point where they make enough money to offset the fees associated with the loan. *"

While this is a benefit for many people, recent changes in policy may have put the loans just out of reach for some would-be homeowners with questionable credit history. Credit History and Score Requirements For those interested in applying for an FHA loan, applicants are now required to have a minimum FICO score of 580 to qualify for the low down payment advantage, which is currently at around 3.5 percent. If your credit score is below 580, however, you aren't necessarily excluded from FHA loan eligibility. Applicants with lower credit scores will have to put down a 10 percent down payment if they want to qualify for a loan. So if you're planning to buy a house, and your credit score doesn't meet the minimum, you should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of putting down a larger down payment or using those funds to try and improve your credit score first. Benefits of an FHA Loan The reason why FHA loans are so popular is because borrowers that use them are able to take advantage of benefits and protections unavailable with most traditional mortgage loans. Loans through the FHA are insured by the agency, so lenders are more lenient. Here are a few benefits you can enjoy with an FHA loan: Easier to Qualify While most loans exclude applicants with questionable credit history and low credit scores, the FHA makes loans available with lower requirements so its easier for you to qualify.

News Staff | March 27, 2018, at 8:00 a.m. Mortgage interest rates are historically low, and the conditions are excellent for U. S. homeowners to refinance a home loan. Often, homeowners refinance to get a lower interest rate, access cash, lock in a low fixed rate or shorten their loan term. A home is the single largest asset many consumers have, so the stakes are high when refinancing. With this guide, you can learn how mortgage refinancing works and how you can choose the right lender. How Mortgage Refinancing Works A mortgage is a loan from a bank or other lender that you use to buy a piece of real estate. The property you purchase is used as collateral against the loan.

While the hype surrounding the FHA streamline refinance program makes it sound fabulous, the reality is that mortgage lenders often put what are called “overlays” on FHA guidelines. In other words, while the FHA says you can basically refinance your underwater home even if you have bad credit and are unemployed, most lenders require you to meet a certain level of standards. That said, if you have an FHA loan and can qualify for an FHA streamline refinance, it can be a great deal. Just make sure you compare your options for other types of mortgage refinance. Unlike other mortgage refinance options, the FHA streamline refinance program offers borrowers with an existing FHA mortgage a new FHA-insured home loan without requiring an appraisal or any documentation of income or assets. Furthermore, depending on when the current loan was taken out, lower mortgage insurance fees may be available to the borrower. FHA Streamline Refinance Process Before you take any refinancing steps, make sure you meet the few guidelines established by the FHA: Your current mortgage must be FHA-insured. You must have made on-time, in-full mortgage payments for the past 12 months. Your FICO credit score has to be at least 620 or higher."

This guide outlines the types of, as well as the necessary qualifications for, FHA loans. Table of Contents What is an FHA Loan? FHA Requirements Types of FHA Loans FHA vs Conventional Loans FHA Grants FHA Refinance Guidelines FHA Home Inspection Checklist Are FHA loans assumable? What is an FHA Loan and how does one work? The FHA, a unit of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, was created in 1934 specifically to help low- and moderate-income families obtain financing for home ownership. The FHA doesn't actually lend any money. Instead, the agency guarantees repayment to lenders if a borrower defaults, so that the lenders know they won't lose money on the deal, thus allowing them to offer competitive mortgage rates on loans that are easier to qualify for than conventional home loans. FHA lending guidelines are different from those of the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) simply because they’re designed specifically to help low-income prospective home buyers."

With low down payments and lenient credit requirements, they're often a good choice for first-time homebuyers and others with modest financial resources. FHA mortgage guidelines allow down payments of as little as 3.5 percent, so you don't need a big pile of cash to successfully apply for a loan. Credit requirements are less strict than for conventional mortgages, putting these government home loans in reach of borrowers with short credit histories or flawed credit. And FHA mortgage rates are very competitive. You can use an FHA mortgage to buy a home, refinance an existing mortgage or get funds for repairs or improvements as part of your home purchase loan. If you already have an FHA home loan, there's a streamline refinance option that speeds qualifying and makes it easier to get approved. There's also an FHA reverse mortgage that allows senior citizens to borrow against their home equity but not have to repay the loan as long as they remain in the home.

Janet Berry-Johnson February 5th, 2018In the first week of January 2018, the average 30-year mortgage rate dropped slightly to 4.1%, from 4.15% the week before. Whenever interest rates fall, many homeowners wonder, should I refinance my home? Taking advantage of lower interest rates is a favorite reason for refinancing, but there are many other reasons you may want to refinance your mortgage. If you’ve never refinanced before, here’s a look at what you need to know before you decide whether it’s right for you. Mortgage refinancing basics Have you faithfully made all of your mortgage payments on time and grown your income since you first applied for a mortgage? In that case, you may think that refinancing should be a breeze. But it may not be that simple. When you refinance, you’re applying for a new loan. Whether you stick with the same lender or use another one, you’ll be subject to many of the same documentation and verification requirements you experienced when you purchased the home."

"text": "Mortgage Brokers vs. Banks There are a variety of different ways to obtain a mortgage, but let’s focus on two specific channels, “mortgage brokers versus banks. ”There are mortgage brokers, who work as middlemen between banks/ mortgage lenders and borrowers on the wholesale end to secure financing for homeowners. And there are banks/lenders that work directly with homeowners to provide financing on the retail level. Mortgage brokers are a big part of the mortgage business, accounting for more than 10 percent of all home loan originations, give or take. In fact, their share of the mortgage pie was as high as 30 percent during the mortgage boom, but fell precipitously after the mortgage crisis ensued. [ See today's mortgage rates from dozens of lenders, updated daily . ] But brokers still serve a valuable role in the industry, and can be quite beneficial for both prospective homeowners and those looking to refinance a mortgage. Pros and Cons to Both Both can be a good choice for homeowners But it depends on your loan scenario And your individual needs Compare the two to ensure you receive the lowest rate and fees There are pros and cons to both, and sometimes you will have little choice between the two if you have poor credit or a tricky loan scenario. The majority of homeowners turn to banks or large mortgage lenders when it comes time to get a mortgage. They are the most obvious choice, mainly because home loan services are usually offered at the customer’s primary banking institution."

Since there are costs associated with all refinances, sometimes getting a lower interest rate can actually be more expensive than keeping your current loan. Plus, sifting through all those lender offers can be overwhelming and even misleading. So how do you determine if a refinance is right for you? First, you need to understand how refinancing works. Then, consider your financial situation and what you want to accomplish with a refinance. Finally, take a look at loans you’re eligible for in the context of your long-term financial goals. The factors below detail this process and will help you make an informed decision when it comes to whether or not to refinance your current mortgage.

But what do you need to qualify for an FHA Streamline loan? To begin, you need an existing FHA mortgage-if you don't have an FHA loan but want to refinance, your options include conventional refinancing or applying for an FHA refinancing loan. If you have a conventional loan you wish to refinance with an FHA refinancing loan, you'll need to apply with the usual credit check, employment verification, debt-to-income ratio requirements and other considerations. An FHA Refinancing loan can get you many of the same results-if you refinance from a conventional loan to an FHA-insured refinancing loan you may get better rates and lower payments. For those who do have an FHA home loan, the other requirements for FHA Streamline include: Being current on the existing loan with all mortgage payments made on time for the last year. You must own the original property for at least six months before you can qualify for refinancing. To refinance you'll need an FHA-approved lender. If you don't want to use your current lender, any bank you choose must be FHA approved. FHA Streamline loans do not require an appraisal, but a no-appraisal loan cannot exceed your current loan."

Such life events can negativity affect credit up to 10 years. Even if you’ve evaded debt, lack of credit can be just as impactful.

Navigating the different types of loans available can be tricky, especially for students who are applying for student loans without a cosigner. Although a cosigner can improve your odds of approval when you apply for a private loan, they aren’t the only option out there. Start by applying for federal student loans, including Direct Loans, which are also known as Stafford Loans. Stafford Loan The United States Department of Education offers Stafford loans, also commonly called Direct Loans, to eligible students based on financial need. These loans normally don’t require a credit check or a cosigner, making them the easiest student loans to obtain without a cosigner. You simply need to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To complete the application, visit fafsa.gov. You need your Social Security number and driver’s license, federal tax returns, W-2s, income documentation and bank statements.

A close friend or family member needs to buy a car but suffers from bad credit. They are in desperate need of someone to cosign their auto loan and, given that you are gainfully employed and possess perfect credit, they have of course come directly to you. Your friend (or brother-in-law) assures you that it’s only a formality and promises never to get behind on the payments. You love and trust your friend (brother-in-law) and are inclined to go along. Before signing on, however, you need to know just what you are getting yourself into. Cosigning an Auto Loan: What Does It Mean? Let’s be clear on what you are doing when you cosign a car loan. Bluntly put, you are legally obligating yourself to pay the loan, in full, if the primary borrower fails to make his or her payments. You are not, I repeat, not signing on simply as a character reference."

This is a very important question to ask, and it’s a decision you have to weigh carefully, as the effect of cosigning a loan can vary with each situation. In a strict sense, the answer is no. The fact that you are a cosigner in and of itself does not necessarily hurt your credit. However, even if the cosigned account is paid on time, the debt may affect your credit scores and revolving utilization, which could affect your ability to get a loan in the future. For example, let’s say the cosigned account is a credit card. If your friend carries a large balance, as the cosigner you may have lower credit scores because of the high revolving utilization of the cosigned account."

Private loans are different: you have to be 18 to sign a legal document (again, age is not an issue here), and banks will always require a co-signer if the applicant has bad credit, no credit, or low/no income. 18-year-olds tend to be in a no/bad credit position, so these loans are difficult to get on their own.elston Posts: 956Joined: Mon Mar 21, 2011 10:25 am Top Does a 18 year old have to have a cosigner for a student loan?by knocks » Tue Apr 24, 2012 3:49 pm NO, an 18 year old does NOT need a cosigner for a student loan.

Lenders will always have a range of credit scores they find acceptable for the different loans and financing offers they provide. The credit score to get a car loan does not have to be high, however, it will still affect the financing and loan options for the car. Traditional lenders will always require fair or good credit score to get a car loan. The credit score for what they consider to be acceptable credit is between 620 and 700. As always, the credit score will also determine the down payment, the interest rate, the requirement of a cosigner, or the length of the maturation period.

Now you have had your car repossessed, you are not making a payment on it. So that means, to the finance companies, that you have a bit more disposable spending money, and they want you to spend it with them! Now, having a car repo'd can be embarrassing, but believe me, it does not mean you can never get another car on credit for 7 years or whatever.

FHA attracts mostly first-time home buyers and borrowers of modest means who may still need a co-signer with higher creditworthiness. It requires only 3.5 percent down payment and offers flexibility in underwriting. FHA differentiates between a co-borrower and cosigner.

Cosigner Requirements Cosigners, like the principal borrower and co-borrower, must undergo an underwriter review of their income, assets, liabilities and credit.

Maybe mom and dad are chipping in, but tuition, books, housing, and other related expenses might tax their generosity. Independent loans are available for your education, but to qualify, you’ll need to demonstrate a solid credit history. Your credit worthiness is gauged by your overall “credit score.” Simply put, a number is assigned to you based on the results of every credit interaction you have ever had. If your credit behavior has been responsible, and reflects a long history of paying your bills on time, the number will be high. For every negative credit entry, like a late payment or loan default, your score goes down. Credit performance is also judged using criteria like diversity and duration, which can be problematic for young people. Credit Score: What It Is, Why It Matters Three primary credit agencies are in the business of compiling your credit report and providing it to lenders who request it.

One of the most misunderstood concepts about buying or leasing a new car is how auto financing really works. Dealer financing, specifically, is often misunderstood. We’ll explain it later, but the key concept to understand is that car dealers do not finance car loans and leases. However, dealers can most certainly affect how you finance and the interest rate you pay for financing. Dealers always sell for cash — not necessarily your cash Car dealers are independent business people who have an authorized franchise with one or more car manufacturers. They do not work for the manufacturer; the manufacturer does not own the dealership. Dealers buy cars from the manufacturer, usually with large “floor-plan” loans from a bank or “captive” finance company. The bank charges dealers interest on those loans."

"text": "\"FHA Loan Articles News and Updates for Homeowners Difference Between Co-borrower and Cosigner for FHA Loans June 8, 2017 - If you're applying for an FHA home loan, you aren't forced to apply and be responsible for the debt all by yourself--FHA rules allow a co-borrower or cosigner to apply alongside the borrower. Having a co-borrower or cosigner may improve the FHA loan applicant's chances of getting approved for the mortgage. Using a them is also a way for a borrower with established credit to help a less established co-borrower become a home owner under the proper circumstances. But what's the difference between a cosigner and a co-borrower? Do they have the same rights and responsibilities? In the eyes of the FHA and your lender, these are two separate things. Cosigners don't have the same benefits as co-borrowers, though they may share the same responsibilities in many cases. The FHA official site says, \"\"Co-borrowers take title to the property and are obligated on the mortgage note and must also sign the security instrument. The co-borrower's income, assets, liabilities, and credit history are considered in determining creditworthiness.\"\" That isn't the same as the FHA requirements for a cosigner, who does not have interest in the property purchased with an FHA insured mortgage."

"text": "A parent is often a cosigner for a child's account. Any time you sign up as a cosigner or joint holder on an account, you're lending your credit score and reputation to anyone else on the account. Your credit score may help establish the account, and you may be held accountable for any debts owed on it. But, while some responsibilities are similar, the duties of a cosigner and a joint holder are very different overall. Responsibilities of a Cosigner A cosigner is someone who helps another individual establish an account with the use of his credit score and reputation. Young people opening their first bank accounts often require a cosigner in order to give them credibility with their banks. Also, people who have had difficulties with their credit may need a cosigner in order to open an account. A cosigner is a guarantor. With his credit score, he lends credibility to the account holder and helps to gain credit or account status. A cosigner may also be held responsible for any debts or other balances owed by the primary account holder."

"text": "The most well-known consequence of having bad credit is trouble getting loans or credit cards, but a low credit score can also make it difficult to find a place to live. Landlords, especially large property-management companies, will likely check your credit report before approving your lease, and there are plenty of negative items that landlords see as deal breakers with potential tenants. But don’t fret—you may still have options. Is Bad Credit an Automatic Rejection? By most landlords’ standards, the minimum credit score to rent an apartment is 620. But many landlords look past the credit score and search for specific activity on a potential tenant’s credit report. Ben Papale, a real estate broker in Chicago, Illinois, says judgments, tax liens, and collections accounts on utilities are almost always nonstarters, but medical collections and late credit card payments aren’t as problematic in the eyes of a landlord. Barry Maher, a property manager in Corona, California, says the 2007 recession changed his mind on bad credit. Before, he never looked at applicants with bad credit because plenty of other applicants had good credit. Then suddenly almost all the applicants had a credit problem."

Calculating your car lease payments is easy to do and can be accomplished using a calculator. See the latest car lease deals >>Step 1: Gather Lease Information You need to know the manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP), negotiated price, residual value, term of the lease and interest rate/money factor in order to estimate your lease payment. This information can be obtained by going to the dealer's website or contacting a car finance company. Step 2: Calculate the Vehicle's Value Since a lease is for a period of up to 36 months, the full value of the car will not be used by the leaser. To determine what the car's value is, take the MSRP and the residual value to calculate the car value. For example, if the MSRP is $25,000, the residual value is around 50 percent (this number can be obtained from the car finance expert)."

"text": "What is the 'Dab' dance and why are sport stars dabbing when they celebrate? The dab – a dance craze that is spreading through professional sports across the globe Sean Gibson13 January 2017 • 9:34am J esse Lingard properly brought the 'dab' dance craze to the British public consciousness when he scored in Manchester United's 3-3 draw with Newcastle last January. He's certainly not the first sports star to celebrate with the dance move, as his now-teammate Paul Pogba had already popularised the dab in Serie A with Juventus. Perhaps unsurprisingly the dab is an import from the United States, where it first emerged in their professional sports in the autumn having originated on the hip hop music scene. Now children everywhere are dabbing - including Cristiano Ronaldo's son, as he congratulated his dad on winning a fourth career Ballon d'Or award.

Thank heavens for the presence of cultural luminaries such as Pogba and Lingard in our midst. I ndeed, Pogba decided that performing the dance every time he scored for Juve would not spread the word quickly enough – so he took to the Internet. Someone needs to explain 'The Dab' to me?"

A reader recently asked me what credit cards they could apply for using an ITIN. For those not familiar ITIN stands for I ndividual T axpayer I dentification N umber, these numbers are given to foreign employers by the IRS for tax purposes. When you apply for a credit card, there is a field for your S ocial S ecurity N umber (SSN), some card issuers allow people with ITIN’s to enter their ITIN there instead of a SSN, while others don’t allow people with an ITIN to apply for their cards. Below is a hopefully helpful list of the policy of different card issuers when it comes to SSN/ITIN requirements, tips for getting approved and how ITIN’s work in regards to credit scores & reports. Card Issuers That Allow You To Apply With An ITINAmerican Express American Express allows you to apply with an ITIN. In addition if you have an American Express issued card in another country it’s possible to use this relationship and the associated credit history you have with them to get approved (although you’ll still most likely need to call reconsideration to do so, if you’re not familiar with reconsideration phone calls, please read this first ). [ Read: Credit Card Reconsideration Phone Numbers]In addition to this it’s also possible to move existing cards from your home country to American Express USA (and from American Express USA to other countries) via American Express’ Global Card Transfer program. If you do a card transfer you should keep in mind you won’t receive a sign up bonus, and you won’t be able to receive a sign up bonus again on that card (because American Express cards have a once per lifetime rule ). Bank of America Bof A allows you to apply for a credit card with an ITIN, but it’s necessary to go into a Bank of America branch to apply without a SSN."

Chris Kissell @bankrate July 14, 2016 in Credit Sofie Delauw/Getty Images For many folks, keeping up with the Joneses is all about having the biggest house, flashiest car and best job. However, others — who are perhaps more financially astute — might prefer to lay claim to the best credit score. But before aspiring to be king of the credit mountain, it’s probably wise to simply pinpoint the average credit score and see if yours is above or below the number. What is the average credit score? A number often used to illustrate the state of credit use among American consumers. The most widely used credit score — the FICO score — is calculated by “dividing the sum of all U. S. consumers’ FICO scores by the number of consumers included in the calculation,” according to My FICO. The two best-known credit scores are the: FICO score (with an average credit score of 695)Vantage Score (with an average score of 673)Lenders look to several different credit scores when sizing up potential customers, but the FICO score and the Vantage Score are perhaps the 2 best known. Unveiled in 1989, the FICO score remains the credit score standard bearer. In fact, 90% of the largest financial institutions in the U. S. use FICO scores when making consumer credit judgments, according to my FICO, the consumer division of FICO."

Today, TPG Contributor Nick Ewen evaluates each level of Hilton Honors elite status to help you decide. In the last few weeks of 2014, you probably saw several posts that set out to quantify the value of holding elite airline status. TPG first wrote about the value of American Airlines status, and TPG Senior Points & Miles Correspondent Jason Steele followed up with valuations for Delta, United, and US Airways. As we move into 2015, I wanted to take a similar approach to quantifying the value of elite status with the major hotel chains. To kick off this series I’ll look at the Hilton Honors program, and offer my thoughts as to just how much Hilton Honors elite status is worth. Also see later posts in this series on Marriott and Hyatt. What is Hilton HHonors status worth to you? While this analysis is similar to the airline posts linked above, there are some notable differences. For starters, it’s much easier to switch your loyalty from one hotel chain to another, given the global reach of their various brands."

There are three main credit bureaus or credit reporting agencies (CRAs) that banks and credit card companies use to pull credit reports from – Equifax, Experian and Trans Union. Which credit card issuer uses which credit reporting agency can determine whether your credit card application is successful, especially when applying for multiple cards especially in a short amount of time (either on the same day or consecutive ones), since if the applications are going to the same bureau it could affect your chances of being approved. If the issuers are going to different bureaus, one issuer likely will not see that you’re applying for a card from another issuer and your chances of being approved for several cards should increase. Multiple credit card applications – especially if refused – can reduce your FICO score, so it’s important to know what you’re getting into before attempting to apply for several cards at once. Credit card companies will refer to the three main credit reporting agencies when you apply for a new card."

"text": "\"2016’s Best Places to Raise a Family in California Sep 20, 2016 | Richie Bernardo, Senior Writer California once drew legions of fortune seekers to its short-lived Gold Rush. Although few newcomers are likely to strike gold in the literal sense today, the Golden State continues to charm big dreamers — not just aspiring actors and tech-preneurs, either. California’s many other riches are a magnet for families in search of opportunity. There’s no shortage of economic activity in the state, for one. California’s GDP of $2.5 trillion in 2015 exceeded those of all but five countries. That’s due in part to its way of setting kids up for success, by establishing some of the best universities in the world. And once employed, workers benefit from a comprehensive paid family-leave program. California was the first state to offer that incentive to American families and remains one of only a handful of states to implement such a policy. Add to that list of priorities an abundance of fun and entertainment options, including Disneyland and Universal Studios. For outdoor-loving families, the state teems with natural beauty, providing plenty of opportunities to explore."

While he played modern men, he was at his best when portraying larger-than-life figures from world history, preferably with his shirt off. He was born John Charles Carter on October 4, 1924 and originally trained in the classics in Northwestern University's drama program, gaining early experience playing the lead in a 1941 filmed school production of Peer Gynt. He also performed on the radio, and then went on to serve in the Air Force for three years during WWII. Afterwards, he went to work as a model in New York, where he met his wife, fellow model Lydia Clarke, to whom he remained married until his death. Later the two operated a theater in Asheville, North Carolina where Heston honed his acting skills. He made his Broadway debut in Katharine Cornell's 1947 production of Anthony and Cleopatra and subsequently went on to be a staple of the highly-regarded New York-based Studio One live television anthology where he played such classic characters as Heathcliff, Julius Caesar and Petruchio. The show made Heston a star. He made his Hollywood film debut in William Dieterle's film noir Dark City playing opposite Lizabeth Scott. Even though she was more established in Hollywood, it was Heston who received top billing."

In reality, securing a car loan is one of the easier loans to get despite a lower credit score. For example, there are companies like Lending Tree.com! that are known to accept customers with less than perfect credit. The main thing to keep in mind when shopping around is a lower interest rate. Often, the interest rates on a car loan for a person with a credit score of 650 or lower may be as high as 10%, and they still may require a large down payment.

But at the same time, experts warn consumers about the growing threat of identity theft and shady sales practices. This situation can sometimes put dealers and customers at odds and lead to misunderstandings.

One of the most misunderstood concepts about buying or leasing a new car is how auto financing really works. Dealer financing, specifically, is often misunderstood. We’ll explain it later, but the key concept to understand is that car dealers do not finance car loans and leases. However, dealers can most certainly affect how you finance and the interest rate you pay for financing. Dealers always sell for cash — not necessarily your cash Car dealers are independent business people who have an authorized franchise with one or more car manufacturers. They do not work for the manufacturer; the manufacturer does not own the dealership. Dealers buy cars from the manufacturer, usually with large “floor-plan” loans from a bank or “captive” finance company. The bank charges dealers interest on those loans."

"text": "Auto Financing For Smart People: Tips For Saving On Your Car Loan By David Weliver • July 20, 2016Save money on auto financing by knowing your credit score and leveraging competing loan offers at the dealership. Put money down, keep the term as short as you can afford, and—of course—don’t buy more car than you can afford. One of the biggest mistakes people make when buying a new car is forgetting to include the cost of auto financing in the total price. For example, if you’re buying a new Honda Civic, the difference between “sticker price” and the dealer’s invoice price (what the dealer paid for the car) is about $1,500. If you negotiate well, you could save $1,000 or more on the price of the car. If you then finance the car for four years at six percent with nothing down, you’ll pay over $2,000 in interest. Financing the car for three years at four percent with a $1,500 down payment, however, can save you over $1,000. If you’re willing to negotiate the price of the car, you shouldn’t ignore the rates and terms of your financing. I made this mistake the first time I bought a car and vowed never to do it again. If you’re in the market for a new car, don’t wait until you’re in “the box” (what some dealers call the offices where you finish the paperwork) to think about your financing."

By Caroline Banton April 17, 2016Secured and unsecured personal loans differ in terms of risk and cost to both the borrower and the lender. A secured loan, such as a home loan or car loan, is backed by collateral. An unsecured loan, such as a student loan or credit card, has no collateral. Both types of loans are common financial tools — so common, in fact, that the amount of debt resulting from personal loans has created the need for other types of loan products and programs, such as debt consolidation loans and loan reduction or loan forgiveness options. Knowing how to handle these kinds of debt, compare personal loan rates, and assess loan terms starts with knowing some of the basic differences between loan types. Whether you’re looking for small loans from a bank, online personal loans, private loans or need a loan with the best personal loan interest rate, you need to start by understanding how to choose and apply for a secured or unsecured loan based on your credit history and financial needs.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case, and much of what I think is simple isn’t really so straightforward. So let’s talk about qualifying for a mortgage. Unsurprisingly, it’s actually a pretty complex process. After all, you are asking a bank to loan you a ton of money for a long period of time. They’ll want to know you can actually pay it all back. Mortgage Qualification Varies by Lender and Loan Type There is no one-size-fits-all approach Some lenders may say no while others says yes Depends on their risk appetite But your goal should be loan approval no matter where you apply The first thing I’ll say on this topic is that qualification for a mortgage can vary greatly from bank to bank, and by loan type. For example, one lender may allow credit scores as low as 550 for FHA loans, while another may require a minimum credit score of 620.

But if your credit score can’t snag you an unsecured loan, lenders may offer you a secured loan, also known as a collateral loan. A secured loan is one that enables you to pledge the title to your vehicle, savings account or some other asset in return for a lower rate or a larger loan amount. The downside: If you don’t make timely payments, the lender can seize your asset and your credit score will suffer.

July 17th, 2011 | Author: Stephanie At present, the average credit score for Americans is 670. However, this score is neither a bad credit score nor an excellent credit score. Lenders will always have a range of credit scores they find acceptable for the different loans and financing offers they provide. The credit score to get a car loan does not have to be high, however, it will still affect the financing and loan options for the car. Traditional lenders will always require fair or good credit score to get a car loan. The credit score for what they consider to be acceptable credit is between 620 and 700. As always, the credit score will also determine the down payment, the interest rate, the requirement of a cosigner, or the length of the maturation period. Generally, the better the credit score of the borrower, the more attractive these options become."

In 2015, the Corporation for Enterprise Development estimated that 56% of consumers have subprime credit scores (below 640). There are many reasons why you may have blemishes on your credit history, but don’t let your low score discourage you from financing a new or used vehicle. Auto loans for bad credit are out there. Because lenders rely on your credit report to decide if you qualify for their loans, bad credit largely excludes you from traditional auto financing, and it’s not often possible to delay buying a car until you can improve your credit. Even if you originally qualified for a car loan, it can be difficult to refinance an auto loan with bad credit. Lenders consider you a high-risk borrower, resulting in loan terms that are less than favorable. Nevertheless, you do have options. We’ve culled a list of lenders and loan servicers for bad credit, along with tips and instructions to help you through the financing process.

Coulter Auto Loans 19342When buying a car most people don’t know their credit score is not used to determine their car loan. Instead, a different score is used. It’s something called an Auto Industry Option Score (‘Auto Credit Score’). This auto credit score is usually calculated by FICO exclusively for use by auto lenders to determine your loan qualification, down payment and interest rate. Almost 90% of auto lenders base their lending decision on your auto credit score. It is calculated primarily on your previous auto loan history and not your overall credit as would normally be the case for a mortgage or credit card.

I can truly tell you that if You co-sign an auto loan and the person doesn't make the payments it can really screw your credit up. However, if that person is making the payments timely without any problems - then I'd say it won't necessarily hurt your credit. But at the same time it won't necessarily help it either. If I were you I wouldn't do it. Believe me if I could go back - I wouldn't do it. A cosigner is only needed because the primary doesn't have adequate credit rating/history for the needed loan."

"text": "\"Understand How Car Leasing Works to Take Control First, let’s do away with a common misunderstanding about car leasing: car leasing is not the same as car renting. Car renting and leasing are two totally different financial concepts. Automobile leasing is based entirely on the concept that you pay for the amount by which a vehicle’s value depreciates during the time you’re driving it. Depreciation is the difference between a vehicle’s original MSRP value and its value at lease-end (residual value), and is the primary factor that determines the cost of leasing. The smaller the difference, the lower the lease payment, and the better the deal. [ /kml_flashembed]It Depends on the Car Make and Model If you consider two different brand cars, both costing $30,000 when new, where one is worth $15,000 after three years and the other worth only $12,000, the first car will cost less to lease because of its smaller depreciation amount — and smaller difference between initial cost and lease-end value. Different makes and models of vehicles can have dramatically different depreciation rates. Vehicles having the lowest depreciation make the best lease deals. Generally, European and Japanese makes have lower depreciation than American brands. Honda, Toyota, and Volkswagen have consistently held low depreciation ratings (high resale values), as have Mercedes, Lexus, and other luxury brands."

"text": "\"Home » Car What Credit Score Is Required to Get the Best Auto Lease Rate?by Chris Brantley Unlike buying and owning a car, leasing is similar to renting, as you pay to use the car for a period of time. You can save money by leasing or get more car for your money, but you need to effectively manage a few key areas: take good care of the car, stay within the mileage limits and lease a car that has a strong residual value, its worth at the end of the lease period. A credit score above 700 enables you to get the lowest interest rates and best payment terms. To Lease or Buy Leases enable you to pay less on a monthly basis than getting a loan and eventually owning the car. This is due to the fact that you turn the car in after the lease period, typically in the range of 24 to 48 months. However, if you neglect the car and cause excessive wear and tear to the interior and exterior, or drive more than the minimum miles, it can cost you more than you bargained for. Typically you pay around 15 cents a mile for extra miles and may incur other charges for any damages to the car. Credit Scores Auto lenders and lessors examine your credit scores when determining the interest rate on your loan or lease. Your credit score ranges from 300 to 850. Having a higher credit score qualifies you for a lower interest rate -- which translates to a lower monthly payment."

Here is my answer: Let’s define “well-qualified” according to these factors: Credit score,Price of the car,Income,Your car (loan) history,The amount of your downpayment,And, the specific dealership/car manufacturer where you will be leasing. It’s not a set number because it’s simply too complicated and everything is open to interpretation and negotiation at car dealerships. However, here are some basic guidelines in order to qualify as a “well qualified” lessee and some other tips: CREDIT SCORE: It seems almost unanimous that a good score for leasing is around 680. According to Experian, the average credit score for new lessees in 2016 was 720. If you have anything above 680, you’ll most likely receive the promotional offers seen on TV without any problem. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t receive the same offer if you are under 680. Like I said, it depends on negotiation and all the other factors. A score under 680 could very well receive the same low interest rate and payments but with a higher down payment to start the lease. Or, a lower score could qualify for the best deal on a less expensive vehicle."

While working on the error with the DMV, the car was stolen and then totaled at the end of November. We filed a GAP claim, and finally, after several times of submitting and resubmitting the same documents along with almost daily phone calls they finally resolved the issue at the end of February. Then, in March, Toyota Financial gets notified by the tow yard that they needed to pay 900 dollars in storage fees and pick up the car or let it go to auction at the end of March. In a separate matter, because GAP took so long to pay out on the claim, they also made a separate payment for the car payment for January. Gave us an itemized breakdown of the GAP payment showing this. Toyota didn't apply it and showed a 30 day late on my credit report. So in the process of calling them about correcting the issue, Toyota Financial told me that they are going to file a \"\"Repossession\"\" on our credit reports because they had to pick the car up. The car has been labeled as a \"\"Total Loss\"\" per the DMV and there is no value to the car. Plus the DMV states that we were no longer legally responsible for the car since the beginning of March."

"text": "Car Leasing for Teens Is leasing a car a good idea for teens? Teenage drivers looking for an affordable way to get a car often look at leasing with its attractive low monthly payments — about half the monthly payment amount required to purchase the same car with a loan. But is leasing right for teenage drivers? First, let’s say that leasing a car is not possible for anyone less than 18 years old — because leasing is a form of financing and requires a legal contract that minors cannot sign. Even though it might seem that the way around that issue is to have a family member lease a car and let the teen drive it, that might not be possible either. The reason is that most car lease contracts restrict who can drive the car. With some lease companies, only the person who signs the contract may drive. In others, the signer and a spouse. However, many companies will allow other drivers if asked for permission. If you are considering a lease for a teen driver, make sure he or she will actually be allowed to drive the car by the lease finance company."

Most auto leases provide the leasing customer with the option to buy their car at the end of the lease, or buy prior to the end of the lease. This is called a “lease buyout. ”To buy out your lease at lease-end simply means you purchase your vehicle from the lease company – either with cash or a loan — for the guaranteed purchase option price specified in your lease contract. What about an early buyout? Most lease contracts allow early buyout , but some don’t. Some might restrict the time period during the lease in which you may exercise your purchase option. For example, buyouts may be prohibited in the first few months and/or the last few months. You should read your lease contract to determine if you have any such restrictions."

What you pay depends on your age, your gender, your car, and even your job. Learn more about the factors affecting the cost of car insurance. When you start shopping for car insurance, the cost can be shocking. Those premiums can put a major dent in your monthly budget, especially if you have factors that raise your car insurance costs above average. Finding the right mix of coverage and affordability can be difficult. To make it even more complicated, it can be hard to comparison shop since costs vary widely depending on what state you live in and your unique situation. In the United States, the average annual car insurance cost is more than $900. But in high-cost states like Michigan and Wisconsin, the annual cost for one driver is more than $2,500!With such high rates, you might be tempted to cut your insurance coverage to the bone to lower your payments, but there are many factors that affect insurance rates beyond your selected coverages and deductibles: What factors affect how much car insurance costs?"

"text": "Facebook Twitter G+Buying vs. Leasing By John M. Vincent | February 2, 2018 (Marin Tomas / Getty Images)Buying a new car isn’t the only way to get a new ride. Leasing offers an alternative that usually includes lower monthly payments. Though it was once reserved for corporate or luxury car customers, leasing is now available to any car buyer who has excellent credit. It now accounts for around 30 percent of all new car sales, due to the high average price of new cars and the changing buying habits of American customers. Whether you choose to buy a new vehicle with cash, finance your purchase, or lease, you’ll find that any car dealership is equipped to handle the transaction. While leasing can get you lower payments and get you into a nicer car, it does have some drawbacks. Depending on how much you drive, your financial situation, and your goals, buying a car might be the better idea in the long run. In the following sections, we’ll take a deep dive into the pros and cons of buying a car compared to leasing a car. Automakers frequently offer money-saving deals on both buying and leasing, and you can explore them on our lease deals page and purchase incentives page. You can save even more when you buy or lease using the U. S. News Best Price Program to connect with local dealers."

"text": "I tend to drive my cars until they die, and a couple of years ago that’s what happened. In need of a new car, but not sure what I wanted for the long-term, I considered leasing a vehicle. But if buying and financing a car seemed confusing, leasing seemed even more overwhelming. I ended up buying instead. Turns out, though, that while leasing isn’t for everyone, it can have some advantages. Lower monthly payments and more flexible credit score requirements may be two of them. If you are thinking about leasing, here are three things you can do to help improve your chances of getting approved.1. Check Your Credit Your credit score plays a key role in the lease you get. “ There are going to be different tiers of credit that will be evaluated,” said Scot Hall, Executive Vice President of Want ALease.com, an online marketplace for new lease deals. “ If you have better credit, you will get better rates unless it’s a dealer-subsidized lease."

"text": "What Credit Score is Needed for a Sears Credit Card? March 18th, 2012 | Author: Stephanie Sears is a popular department store that specializes in consumer electronics, house wares, tools, clothing and other basic needs. The Sears credit card is designed for consumer purchases. It can be used for any merchandise in the store, warranty packages, and even servicing of appliances, tools, or other gadgets. This is a popular consumer store card that offers membership rewards to cardholders, as well as different coupons and members-only deals throughout the year. As with most department store credit cards, the Sears department store credit card, issued through Citibank, is a card designed for those with ranging credit scores from fair to excellent. It is recommended that you have a credit score of at least 650 if applying for this credit card. This does not guarantee approval, but your chances for approval are far higher with a score of 650 or higher. There are other factors that are considered when you apply for a Sears credit card including credit history and income guidelines. If you have no bankruptcies or negative judgments and a reliable source of income, you are more likely to be approved."

Chase, citi financial (store line of credit) and Sears line of credit all have it showing closed but I am getting reporting from some debt collector companies. I live in Arizona and just ordered my actual credit report today. I viewed the information online through a credit score tracking website. I read a lot of comments and researched online somethings. My questions are can any of them take me to court still because from what I read some debts are 3 years and some are 6 here in Arizona, I am not sure what they fall under, also at 7 years they have to stop reporting to my credit so I am told. Does this mean that it will show the old reports but they cant continue to report and since the original lenders have the accounts closed can the debt collector who purchased the debt also show up as a closed account or do they just disappear forever? Any information to better understand when or if this will ever not be an issue for me would be helpful, as these debts were ran up by my ex and are thousands of dollars I cant and haven't been able to afford to even attempt to fix."

There is a light at the end of the tunnel and the most important thing you can do right now is make your bankruptcy payments in full and on time, and stay focused on regaining your credit standing. A bankruptcy can be listed on your credit report for up to 10 years depending on the type, and there is a good chance your credit score will be rather low until your bankruptcy is discharged and you’ve take the necessary steps to rebuild your credit. For an overview and explanation of your credit standing after bankruptcy, check out your free credit report snapshot. It will give you a completely free look at your credit scores, plus help you track which areas of your credit are improving. Rebuild Your Credit With A Secured Card A secured card is a good way to go if you’re coming out of a bankruptcy. Keep in mind, though, that until your bankruptcy is discharged, it is still possible to be turned down, even for a secured card. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible to get a credit card before your bankruptcy is discharged. Keep in mind though that your post-bankruptcy credit card options will be limited and will usually involve annual fees and high annual percentage rates."

By Anna Spooner BBA Finance Have you considered applying for a department store credit card, but refrained from doing so out of fear of rejection? This is not unusual considering the minimum credit score requirement for most credit cards, including those issued by big-name department stores. However, certain cards are believed to have relatively minimal barriers to entry. Macy's Macy's offers both an American Express and store-branded card. The latter is rumored to have less stringent qualification criteria, in terms of credit score, then what American Express requires. In fact, those who have dealt with bankruptcy, possess poor credit scores (in the 400s), or who are looking for a fresh start with their credit have been approved, notes Ask Mr. Credit Card. To apply, complete the online application on Macy's website or call 877-493-9207. Sears Sears also offers a store-branded and Citi card.

( An identity-protection service paid for the study.) The crimes involved range from credit-card fraud to misuse of Social Security numbers to full-on impersonation. Based on our three months of undercover testing, which involved signing up and paying for each service, bothering their customer-support representatives with questions about the Equifax data breach, and putting personal information into their credit-score simulators, we conclude that the best identity-theft-protection service is Identity Force Ultra Secure+Credit. Identity Force offers comprehensive monitoring of your financial activity and personal information and provides quarterly updates to your credit scores and reports. The service delivered a rather small number of email and SMS notifications, but you can adjust how many alerts you receive. Life Lock Ultimate Plus provided the most comprehensive monitoring of personal accounts, including financial and investment accounts, but it isn't generous with credit reports, and it has a lot of negative feedback from both users and federal regulators. Identity Guard Platinum provides new credit reports every month and comes with antivirus software and a password manager. Yet, it neglects to monitor many categories that other services do keep an eye on, including bank and credit card accounts.

Whether you are applying for a car loan, a home mortgage or even a credit card, one of the first things a lender will do is check your credit score rating to see how good your credit is.

Credit is borrowed money provided to you as a loan, so that you may purchase goods or services when and as you need them. The money typically comes from a credit issuer, like a bank or financial institution, who is then paid back over a certain agreed upon amount of time. Credit usually comes with a finance charge (known as interest) that is paid in addition to the initial amount of money that you borrow. In most cases, the borrower is required to make a minimum or fixed payment each month that goes toward repaying the debt."

Be selective of which credit cards are right for you and then pay them off each month with a zero balance. Let's take a quick look at credit scores. One of the biggest factors in keeping them high is the amount of debt that you maintain in relation to the amount of money you can borrow.

"text": "What Credit Score Do You Need to Get a Credit Card? A frequently asked question in the consumer credit realm tends to be, “what credit score do you need to get a credit card?”Unfortunately, the answer to this question isn’t one simple three-digit number, but rather a variable answer dependent on a number of factors. Though a numerical credit score is used in the decisioning process, what’s behind that credit score matters too. Approval Goes Beyond Your Credit Score Let’s put it this way; you could have a higher credit score than another individual, but subsequently be denied for the exact same credit card that the other person gets approved for. How would that work, you ask? Well, in one common scenario, you could have a better credit score than another applicant, but too many recent credit inquiries or newly opened accounts, likely other credit cards. As a result, a credit card issuer may deny your credit card application while simultaneously approving an application for a consumer with a lower credit score. That other consumer may have had a late payment at some point in their credit history, but no recent requests for new credit until said credit card application. So in the eyes of the credit card issuer they are deemed less of a default risk going forward, despite some missteps in the past. Meanwhile, because you opened so many new accounts recently, you’ve presented yourself as a bit of an unknown risk, at least over the short term, so a credit card issuer may deny you."

"text": "Do Cockroaches Bite? Do Cockroaches Bite? And if so, do cockroaches bite humans? Because cockroaches aren’t picky eaters and will eat just about anything, they thankfully don’t depend on human flesh for food. While all their species are capable of biting, the Periplaneta American, Periplaneta australasiae, and German cockroach are most known for their biting tendencies. And to clarify, one doesn’t have to be in Germany to encounter a German cockroach —they are now present around the world, and they tend to dwell in large numbers, which is why they may be more likely to bite. One scientist asserts that only the larger species of cockroaches could actually take a bite through the skin. Cockroach Bites Cockroach bites are most likely to occur when people fall asleep with food remnants in or around their hands or mouth. The cockroach is drawn in by the smell of the food and comes in for a taste. The intent is not to bite, but rather to look for food."

Such facts will not be encouraging to people who suffer from extreme cockroach phobia. The name given to such a fear of cockroaches is Katsaridaphobia. The phobia or fear of cockroaches can be a debilitating one. A teacher had to reportedly quit her job since she could not even bear her students saying the word ‘cockroaches’ aloud. It would make her “freeze on the spot or break into a cold sweat”. Once, she even ran out of the shower with the soap still on, as she felt a cockroach had flown into the bathroom. Thus, an extreme, persistent and unwarranted fear of cockroaches can literally turn the sufferer’s life into a nightmare. Causes of Katsaridaphobia Many people feel uncomfortable or afraid in the presence of insects and critters like cockroaches. Cockroaches are known to inhabit dark and warm places which are abundant with food."

Your first instinct might be to use a commercial pesticide to kill them. However, those remedies can harm your children, your pets and the environment. Instead of reaching for a toxic product to rid your home of nasty insects, try an organic solution instead. Photo credit: Paul Beard / Photodisc / Getty images Don't let them in One way to make your home bug free is to prevent them from entering in the first place. Bugs typically enter your home through cracks around pipes, windows, doors and drains. Go through your house with caulk and seal up all the openings you find. Also close your drains when you aren't using them and make sure you don't leave dirty dishes in the sink or food lying around. Landscaping Your landscaping is often an attractor and archway into your home for bugs. Another way to make sure pests aren't getting in is to prune the shrubs back in your garden."

( January 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Creepy Crawlers (or Thingmaker) is an activity toy made by Mattel, beginning in 1964. The toy consists of a series of die-cast metal moulds resembling various bug-like creatures, into which is poured a liquid chemical substance called \"\"Plastigoop\"\", which comes in assorted colours. The mould is then heated to about 390 °F (199 °C) in an open-face electric hot plate oven. The Plastigoop is cured by the heat, and when cooled forms semi-solid, rubbery replicas which can be removed from the mould. The concept of the Thingmaker was introduced in 1963, as part of Mattel's \"\"Vac-U-Maker\"\" set. This omnibus toy combined the new moulds and Plastigoop technology with the existing \"\" Vac-u-form \"\" machine, which molded simple sculptures by heating thin sheets of plastic, then using a vacuum pump to form the softened plastic over hard plastic forms."

BIG broadheads Creating The Perfect...2013-07-01 In This Issue Spinner/crawler rigs for big water walleyes When the bite is tough or the fish are holding on or near the bottom, crawlers are usually a top choice...by Michael Veine July 01, 2013 Spinner crawler rigs are certainly one of the most consistent walleye producers on the Great Lakes. Where I mainly fish on Lake Erie and Saginaw Bay, the walleyes there simply love night crawlers, and when rigged on a harness with a spinner, the attraction power of that setup is hard to beat. There are times when crankbaits and spoons will out-produce crawlers, but when the bite it tough or the fish are holding on or near the bottom, crawlers are usually a top choice. When to Fish Crawlers There has been a major change during the last five years with Saginaw Bay's walleye behavior. Before then, it seemed like the walleyes suspended a lot during the day. Now days though, walleyes seem to be hanging out on the bottom during the day more times than not. Studies have shown that there are tons more shiners and minnows in the Bay now compared to years past. That abundance of baitfish seems to hang out near the surface during the day. All you have to do is look over the side of the boat on a sunny, flat day and you can often see massive schools of baitfish flittering around the boat. My theory is that walleyes are gorging on those shiners and minnows up near the surface at night and then hanging out near the bottom during the day."

"text": "\"How to Catch a Walleye Fishby Larry Anderson Many anglers target walleyes because they make great table fare. Even in the best of situations, walleyes generally do not jump in the boat. Anglers must work to catch them. Their eyes are sensitive to the sun and walleyes can be finicky eaters, too, especially during and after a cold front. But walleyes remain a popular game fish -- and in Minnesota, they are the state fish -- because they have white meat that makes a great meal. They prove challenging to catch, too, so many anglers go home happy after catching a walleye or two for dinner. Pack the three most productive live baits for walleyes -- leeches, minnows and night crawlers. While all can work at anytime, minnows tend to work best when the water temperature is 65 degrees or lower. Rig a 6- to 7-foot rod and reel with 4- to 6-pound test fishing line. Create a Lindy rig to present the live bait."

"text": "3 Ways to Reduce the Swelling From Bedbug Bites May 7th 2016Bedbug bites are not always a cause for concern if pain, itching and swelling subsides quickly. It is advisable for you to contact a health care professional if symptoms worsen or swelling does not subside with home remedies or treatments. Baking Soda Paste Household items come in handy, especially when treating swelling from bedbugs. Put that box of baking soda to use somewhere other than the kitchen by making a thick paste of the household ingredient mixed with water. The solution should be thick enough so it stays on the skin without running off the body. Apply the paste to the affected area of the skin that is swelling from bedbug bites and allow the paste to dry for at least an hour. Wash away the paste and pat the skin dry. Some bedbug bites may need multiple applications throughout the day to minimize swelling further. Tea Tree Oil Tea tree oil is a popular, natural remedy to reduce swelling from bedbug bites. This essential oil helps heal cuts, burns, infections and bites because it possesses antifungal and antiseptic properties."

"text": "Fishing12 Great Catfish Baitsby Jeff Samsel | March 19th, 2014 254 Comments Nick caught this blue cat on Eagle Mountain Lake in Texas. Photo via Camera Corner Catching any kind of fish begins with putting baits where the fish are — that includes catfish baits. That simple fact acknowledged, an angler’s offerings also must appeal to the fish. For many species of game fish, lure sizes, shapes, movements and colors, and types of presentations all figure prominently into the equation of making an offering appealing. For catfish, which feed mostly by smell and taste, it is all about using the right kind of bait. Of course, different species and sizes of cats prefer different kinds of meals, and some offerings lend themselves better to specific styles of catfishing than do others. Also, catfish are just like other kinds of fish — and people for that matter — in the sense that their preferences vary from day to day. One day’s hot catfish bait commonly may not yield much the next day, with no obvious change in conditions. With that in mind, you are wise to set the table with at least a couple of different kinds of baits and allow the cats to dictate their preferences. Dozens of different bait types are commonly used for catfish, with popular picks ranging from hot dog slices to raw bacon to clams and smaller catfish."

Poison dart frogs: The heart-healthy choice It could kill you: You know an animal is bad news when its sweat was once considered a state-of-the-art military technology. Meet the poison dart frog, which secretes a highly dangerous neurotoxin, called batrachotoxin, through its pores. In fact, various Latin American tribes used to collect the stuff (carefully) to poison the tips of their arrows for hunting and warfare. Interestingly, however, the frogs don't produce their own toxin. They get it from eating insects that most likely pick up the poison from the plants they consume. The same frogs, if raised in a laboratory rather than the rain forest, aren't poisonous at all. But it just might cure you: Before batrachotoxin stops your heart, it speeds it up."

"text": "Creative Crawler Rigging For Walleye Dennis Foster February 7th, 2014 | More From Dennis Foster Share Tweet Email Crawlers and walleyes go together like cookies and milk, but crawler rigging a worm right isn’t as intuitive as you might guess. What you’ve been doing with crawlers may be timeless and proven, maybe a spinner harness on a bottom bouncer or as part of a trolling spread. Or maybe you prefer nose-hooking a fat crawler behind a slipsinker and letting it dance across complex structure. How about a Slow Death Hook and half a crawler. Like the wheel, nightcrawlers are still performing their fundamental function—catching fish. But like the wheel, we continue to improve the basic concept. This rigging system involves a bit of re-engineering and polishing to make it even more efficient and size-selective. The Slow Death method involves a purposely kinked Aberdeen hook that makes a half crawler spin seductively. It’s as ingenious and as efficient as it is simple, born on the windswept Missouri River reservoirs, the same waters where the bottom bouncer was conceived and perfected. I’m a tinkerer, always asking myself why something works and whether improvements can be made, particularly in regards to targeting larger walleyes."

The story, based on the popular book by Thomas Rockwell, first published in 1973, involves the new kid on the block who, in a spasm of nutty, if age- and gender-appropriate braggadocio, agrees to a wormy dare under pressure from the school bully. Nicely directed, the film version proves refreshingly free of the customary blights that affect most modern children’s movies, notably adult condescension. But, man, is it mean. It could hardly be otherwise. As the title says, “How to Eat Fried Worms” is, at least in part, about how to eat fried worms. Recently transplanted to a new town, 11-year-old Billy (Luke Benward) has barely climbed off his bicycle when he becomes a target of scorn and abuse. Led by a pint-size terror named Joe Guire (Adam Hicks), the boys in Billy’s fifth-grade class immediately give him the freeze and then stuff a handful of worms in his lunch thermos."

KILL IT! \"\" Outbursts like these are common throughout much of the United States and, indeed, the world, when a spider's cover is blown and it is forced to skitter this way and that along the wall or across the living room carpet to avoid being, as suggested above, speedily smashed. It is unfortunate that so many of these harmless eight-legged critters have to pay such a price for our unfounded fears and instinctive squishing behaviors, especially since they work so hard to rid our homes of ever creepier (in the author's personal opinion) pests such as silverfish, fleas, bed bugs, gnats, and flies. I find that the basis for most fears of spiders is the fact that most people don't know the difference between those that are harmful to humans and those that are perfectly capable of coexisting with us peacefully. And so, in the spirit of enlightenment, I have devised a way to help any and all who are curious learn about which spiders pose a danger and which do not. \"\" Be careful of me. I don't want to bite, but if I do, I can pack quite a punch!\"\". Biggest Threats The leading ladies and gentlemen on this list are of course the ever-beautiful female Latrodectus hesperus (black widow spider) and her renowned accomplice the Loxosceles reclusa (brown recluse spider)."

"text": "Developing a Walleye Pattern To become an accomplished walleye angler, the first steps are to understand the walleyes behavior and seasonal movements in order to shorten the learning curve of where the walleyes will be. Take into consideration all factors, including type of water, weather conditions, time of year, water temperature, wind speed and direction, and time of day. Then choose the appropriate presentation suited to the habitat of feeding walleyes. This is the process of developing a pattern, if the presentation you choose is not working but your marking fish on your graph or LCD try something different versus moving to another spot. Usually subtle changes in the presentation will make a big difference, suggestions such as down sizing minnows or switching from a minnow to a leech, or a slip bobber versus a jig and minnow, which allows the bait to hang in the feeding zone, can change your success. The topics listed below will help you understand many of the situations you may encounter when fishing for the elusive walleye. Pre Spawn & Spawning Walleyes Most all Northern States and Canadian inland waters are closed for the walleye spawning season with the exception of some rivers systems while Southern States are open continuously. During this period fishing for walleyes can be the best or worst with the critical factor being the weather. Stable weather for a few days with any increase in water temperature, even a degree or two, can trigger active walleyes to bite. But if a cold front moves in dropping the water temperature this will have the opposite effect and shut down the bite."

"text": "\"Share Bugs and the Real Christmas Tree Purchasing a real Christmas tree may be a big decision for many people, but fears of introducing unwanted and potentially harmful pests into the home via the tree are unwarranted. Every Christmas tree can harbor insects, mites, or spiders. Some of these may remain on the tree into winter and could become active after being exposed to the warm temperatures inside the home. Although many will stay on the tree, a few may be attracted to sources of light, including windows. But, because they are associated with field-grown conifers, none of these accidental introductions are a threat to your home, its contents, or occupants. Preventing introduction of these \"\"pests\"\" into your home is the best, and easiest, plan. Mechanical tree shakers, available at some retail lots, are useful in removing some insects from the trees. Vigorously shaking the tree before bringing it into your home will serve the same purpose, and will also remove any loose needles. Bird nests, although considered decorative by some people, may contain bird parasites such as mites and lice. They should be removed by hand if not dislodged by shaking."

Secretary bird In Serengeti National Park Conservation status Vulnerable ( IUCN 3.1) [1]Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Accipitriformes Family: Sagittariidae Genus: Sagittarius (R. Grandori & L. Grandori, 1935), Hermann, 1783Species: S. serpentarius Binomial name Sagittarius serpentarius ( J. F. Miller, 1779) [2]The secretarybird or secretary bird ( Sagittarius serpentarius) is a very large, mostly terrestrial bird of prey. Endemic to Africa, it is usually found in the open grasslands and savannah of the sub-Saharan region. Although a member of the order Accipitriformes, which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as kites, hawks, vultures, and harriers, it is given its own family, Sagittariidae. It appears on the coats of arms of Sudan and South Africa.

He also mentioned that it was known as the Secretarius by farmers at the Cape of Good Hope who had domesticated it to combat pests around homesteads. In 1779 English illustrator John Frederick Miller also described it as secretarybird, [3] and it was soon after assigned to its own genus Sagittarius by French naturalist Johann Hermann in his Tabula Affinitatum Animalium. [ 4] It was not until 1935 that the species was moved to its own family, distinct from all other birds of prey—a classification confirmed by molecular systematics. [ 5] Recent cladistic analysis has shown Sagittariidae to be an older branch of the diurnal birds of prey than Accipitridae and Falconidae, but a younger divergence than Cathartidae. ["

"text": "Getting from Rome to Barcelona (and vice versa)Most of the time when people ask how to get from one major city in Europe to another, my default replies are either to fly or take the train (I defer to trains, unless it’s a huge distance, because I’m an old-fashioned romantic or something). But sometimes, there’s another option that is head-slappingly obvious but still doesn’t instantly come to mind. Such is the case with the journey between Barcelona and Rome. Just by looking at a map of Europe, you can probably guess that my normal affinity for train travel isn’t going to show itself in this article… But in addition to checking out flights from Barcelona to Rome or vice versa, I’d also suggest taking a ferry or cruise between the two cities. When you read the descriptions of each option below, my ferry recommendation may surprise you – it’s a longer trip overall and isn’t always the cheapest. But you can’t beat it for comfort, especially if you spring for a cabin on the overnight trip. But of course you’ll need to decide which is the best option for you – so here’s what you need to know about each choice. Flying from Rome to Barcelona The distance between some European cities is such that flying from one to the other is the most efficient transportation method, no matter how much we may have learned to hate airports. When considering the trip from Rome to Barcelona, it’s not just distance but geography that makes flying the best option for most travelers. There isn’t a direct land route between Rome and Barcelona, the two cities lying at roughly the same parallel but on two separate peninsulas."

"text": "\"Antoni Gaudi the Great Rarely has a man become so synonymous with a city as Antoni Gaudi has with Barcelona. His incredibly expressive and individual style, part Modernisme (the regional Catalan take on art nouveau) part neo-Gothic and drawing on aspects of cubism and surrealism, has come to define the city's aesthetic. It is intensely human, full of the imagery of nature and religion, and defiantly original - an apt reflection of the Catalan soul. Read on for a full biography and a list of Gaudi's major works in Barcelona, or scroll down to the bottom of the page for selected guided tours. Biography of Gaudi's Early Life The most famous architect of the 20th century was born in Reus (or just outside, depending on what account you believe) in the Tarragona province of Catalonia, 80km south of Barcelona. After enduring a childhood troubled by rheumatism, the son of two coppersmiths travelled to the Catalan capital to enrol as an student at the Escola Tecnica Superior d'Arquitectura where he duly studied from 1873 to 1877. Even then his professors did not quite know what to make of his work, and when he was awarded the title of architect in 1878, Elies Rogent, the director of the school, declared: \"\"Who knows if we have given this diploma to a nut or to a genius? Time will tell.\"\" That same year Gaudi won his first commission, via a competition, to design lampposts for Barcelona's Placa Reial. He also undertook a number of commissions for furniture and altarpieces and a showcase for gloves for the Comella firm for the Paris Exhibition of 1878, and it was these works that got him a big break."

Some people don't like the taste of Barcelona tap water much, but the water is completely safe for drinking and cooking and won't upset your stomach. Restaurants generally serve bottled water, not tap water. At a restaurant you are offered the choice of still water - agua sin gas - or sparkling water - agua con gas. If you want to improve the tap water taste and are living in Barcelona for an extended period, then we recommend getting a water filter of the 'Brittas' kind, which is sold in most hardware stores and Barcelona hyper-markets like Carrefour - and in IKEA stores."

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier refers to a monument ( cenotaph) in dedication to the services of an unknown soldier and to the common memories of all soldiers killed in any war. Such tombs can be found in many nations and are usually high-profile national monuments. Throughout history, many soldiers have died in war with their remains being unidentified. Following World War I, a movement arose to commemorate these soldiers with a single tomb, containing the body of one such unidentified soldier. Contents [ hide ]1 History1.1 France and the United Kingdom1.2 Other countries2 Symbolism3 Examples4 See also5 References6 External links History [ edit]France and the United Kingdom [ edit]During the First World War, the British and French armies who were allies during the war jointly decided to bury soldiers themselves. In the UK, under the Imperial War Graves Commission (now Commonwealth War Graves Commission ), the Reverend David Railton had seen a grave marked by a rough cross while serving in the British Army as a chaplain on the Western Front, which bore the pencil-written legend \"\"An Unknown British Soldier\"\". [ 1] He suggested (together with the French in their own country) the creation at a national level of a symbolic funeral and burial of an \"\"Unknown Warrior\"\", proposing that the grave should in the UK include a national monument in the form of what is usually, but not in this particular case, a headstone. The idea received the support of the Dean of Westminster, Prime Minister David Lloyd George, and later from King George V, responding to a wave of public support. [ 1] At the same time, a similar concern grew in France."

It is believed that these original fowls lost their identity and that the progenitors of our present Barred Plymouth Rocks were first exhibited in 1869 at Worcester, Massachusetts. These were composites of several blood lines. The first and most prominent cross was that of a Dominique male with Black Cochin or Black Java females, which was originally made at Putnam, Connecticut. The Dominique male used was not the American or Rose-Comb Dominique, but rather a single-combed, hawk-colored fowl commonly found in that locality. This Plymouth Rock was recognized as a distinct breed and was admitted to the first American Standard of Excellence, in 1874. Whether the Plymouth Rock originated from a Dominique-Black Cochin or from a Dominique-Black Java cross is a debatable question. Both have been used synonymously in show classifications. White Plymouth Rocks were white sports of the Barred variety, other strains trace their ancestry to other white fowls. Buff Plymouth Rocks originated in Rhode Island, not far from Fall River, Massachusetts, and were first exhibited as Golden Buffs."

He introduced the current binomial name Mergus merganser. [ 2] The genus name is a Latin word used by Pliny and other Roman authors to refer to an unspecified waterbird, and merganser is derived from mergus and anser, Latin for \"\"goose\"\" [3] In 1843 John James Audubon used the name \"\"Buff-breasted Merganser\"\" in addition to \"\"goosander\"\" in his book The Birds of America. [ 4]There are three subspecies, differing in only minor detail: [5] [6]M. m. merganser – Linnaeus, 1758: found throughout northern Europe and northern Asia. M. m. orientalis – Gould, 1845 (syn.

"text": "Booking.com FC Barcelona Logo The History And Evolution Of The FCB Club Crest The current FC Barcelona Logo or Club Crest dates from 2002 but actually includes symbols and references that are consistent throughout Barça's long and illustrious history so let's take a look at what it all means. Top Left: The Saint George Cross or Creu de Sant Jordi in Catalan refers to the Patron Saint of Catalonia. Top Right: Four red bars on a gold background are La Senyera, the Catalan National flag, which legend has it is the Quatre Dits de Sang (Four Fingers of Blood) made by 9th century King Wilfred the Hairy made on a shield before going into battle against the Moors. Middle: FCB - Futbol Club Barcelona Bottom: The red and claret blaugrana colours are those sported on the first team shirt and were introduced in 1900. There is some dispute as to whether they refer to founder Joan Gamper's FC Zurich colours or the the Merchant Taylors School colours, which was attended by early stars Arthur and Ernest Witty. However, the message the FC Barcelona Logo transmits is of a crest that honours the sporting dimension of the football club as well as its connection to its home city and native country. History of The FC Barcelona Club Crest The Evolution of the FC Barcelona Club Crest The Early Years 1899-1939As you can see from the illustration above, from 1899 to 1910 Barça's original logo was quite different. It includes the Cross of Sant Jordi and Catalan Flag, La Senyera, but is surrounded by a laurel and palm branch and topped by a crown and a bat. Presumably, the branches are sporting symbols of peace and friendship whilst the bat and crown are heraldic symbols of the Counts of Barcelona, who ruled an empire that covered much of the Mediterranean throughout the Middle Ages. This logo lasted for over a decade until shortly after club founder Joan Gamper had saved the club from serious crisis in 1908 and a decision was taken to design a modern crest that would represent the club's aspirations.. In 1910, the FC Barcelona board organised a competition for club members to propose a FCB logo and the winner was footballer Carles Comamala, who played for the club between 1903 and 1912, and at the time was also a medicine student as well as a fine amateur artist."

Can someone explain to me in plain English how this skill works? Thanks,Calsetes11.28.2012 , 09:54 AM | #2 Quote How artifice works is like this: You're a Jedi, right? This means with Artifice, you can gather materials and then make gear for your lightsaber and any moddable armor you find / obtain. If you're not restricted to one crew skill, then you'll want to also take Tresure Hunting (preferred if you only have two skills available to you) and archaeology (if you have all three available to you.) As a Sentinel, you'll want to make, reverse-engineer, and upgrade your lightsaber hilts, color crystals, and enhancements, along with any offhand equipment for companions (such as shields, focii, generators, etc.) Make a green of an item, break it down, try to score a blue-quality of the same thing, then make that and throw it in. My suggestion for enhancements would be to only buy the ones you yourself would need, and I'm tempted to say don't bother trying to RE things into purple quality until endgame, and not even then if you're a freebie account. If you try to buy every single enhancement, you'll go broke."

Players can assign their crew of companions to gather resources, craft useful and valuable items, and even to undertake their own missions, providing the player and the rest of the crew a variety of benefits and rewards. Starships allow players to relay orders to companions while exploring the galaxy and progressing through your storyline. Based on their opinion of you, the better they'll perform across the board. Most Crew Skills missions are drawn from a random pool for the player to choose from, and that pool refreshes from time to time. However, some missions are unlocked by rare objects found in the world. These missions are one-off, but tend to offer more substantial rewards. Companions can fail on missions, which means that the player will lose their initial capital investment (i.e. credits and time spent). It is up to the player to decide if they wants to play it safe with their companion missions, or go for higher risk, higher reward missions. Currently, items craft from and drop to the player's inventory."

General [ edit | edit source]There are five colors, sequenced White ( ), Blue ( ), Black ( ), Red ( ), and Green ( ); this arrangement is called the \"\" Color Pie \"\" or \"\" Color Wheel \"\". Devised by Magic creator Richard Garfield, the color system is one of the game's most fundamental and iconic elements. It gives the game diversity in its cards, effects, and play styles, while preventing any one deck from having every tool in the game. [ 1] [2]Each color signifies an ideological faction, whose culture defines the flavor and gameplay of its cards, as well as its relations with the other colors. Each color has its own means and motivation for doing battle in Magic, which tie into its strengths, weaknesses, and unique mechanics. [ 3] [4] Head Designer Mark Rosewater has written many articles about the color pie, both on its portrayal in-universe and its implications on the design and development of cards .

It is a name for a person who was understood to be foreign. The name is actually an abbreviation of Wallensis, which meant Welsh is derived from the Anglo Norman French word waleis, meaning foreign. It is sometimes difficult for the layman to understand how such a renowned Scottish Clan could be called, literally, Welsh. Yet from the 3rd to the 8th century the Kingdom of Strathclyde stretched from the northern tip of France to the southern shores of the Clyde in Scotland. This kingdom was composed of solely coastal territories, of regions including Wales, Lancashire, Westmorland and that part of southwest Scotland known as Galloway. Ironically, the first Scottish poem, dated about 1000 AD, was written in Welsh. Hence, Richard Wallensis was a vassal in 1174 of Walter Fitz Alan, the Norman/ Breton who had settled in Salop in England and then moved north to Scotland. He would later found the great line of Scottish Stewart Kings. The Wallensis were undoubtedly the original natives of the area rather than travelers who moved north from the Welsh border in the train of the Stewarts."

The purpose of this article is to clearly explain why a great music video does not cost $500.00. My hope is that this post will serve as an education for people who are looking to make music videos but have very little knowledge of the business. So the phone rings…. Having been in the music video production business for many years, I have a standard set of questions I always ask: Can I hear the track? Do you have a concept in mind or are you looking to us for guidance? What's your budget? These questions allow me to fully understand what and who we are dealing with.

JAN. 25, 1861View page in Times Machine January 25, 1861, Page 4 The New York Times Archives By Section 110 of Article III. of the Constitution of the United States, it is declared that:\"\"Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open Court. The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason. \"\" In 1790, the Congress of the United States enacted that:\"\"If any person or persons, owing allegiance to the United States of America, shall levy war against them, or shall adhere to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States, or elsewhere, and shall be thereof convicted on confession in open Court, or on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act of the treason whereof he or they shall stand indicted, such person or persons shall be adjudged guilty of treason against the United States, and SHALL SUFFER DEATH; and that if any person or persons, having knowledge of the commission of any of the treasons aforesaid, shall conceal, and not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President of the United States, or some one of the Judges thereof, or to the President or Governor of a particular State, or some one of the Judges or Justices thereof, such person or persons, on conviction, shall be adjudged guilty of misprision of treason, and shall be imprisoned not exceeding seven years, and fined not exceeding one thousand dollars. \"\" JAMES MADISON in the 43d number of the Federalist says:\"\"As treason may be committed against the United States the authority of the United States ought to be enabled to punish it: but as new tangled and artificial treasons have been the great engines by which violent factions, the natural offspring of free governments, have usually wreaked their alternate malignity on each other, the Convention has with great judgment opposed a barrier to this peculiar danger by inserting a Constitutional definition of the crime. \"\" The Constitution confines the crime of treason to two species; First, the levying of war against the United States; and Secondly, adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. In so doing the very words of the Statute of Treason of EDWARD the THIRD were adopted; and thus the framers of the Constitution recognized the well settled interpretation of these phrases in the administration of criminal law which has prevailed for centuries in England."

Is it legal to actually arrest him? Is he above the law? In America we have been proud of the fact that we could say that no one is above the law, but is that really true today? Congress has passed laws that exempt them from their own laws, isn’t that putting them above the law. They can do insider trading, they have their own health care plan, they have their own “social security system” for their retirement and they continually pass laws that they aren’t subject to but we are. Doesn’t that make them above the law? The President has a security detail called the Secret Service that isolates him from ANY threat that may come his way. If any law enforcement official dared to approach him, they could easily keep him safe from the lawman and any legal action he may want to take against the president."

To explore this concept, consider the following treason definition. Definition of Treason Noun. A betrayal of trust or confidence, a breach of faith, treachery Noun.

When Judas Iscariot committed his infamous act of treachery in handing over his beloved Savior to the chief priests of the Jewish faith, his very name became synonymous with the terms treason and traitor."

Answered Feb 6, 2017 · Author has 20.7k answers and 126.4m answer views The Constitution is deliberately vague. It only lists treason, bribery, and other “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Violating the Constitution is not among them; many presidents give orders or sign bills that later are determined by the Supreme Court to have violated the Constitution. However, it’s really up to the House of Representatives to decide for themselves. If they choose to impeach you, then you’ve been impeached, whatever the reason.

"text": "\"A Constitutional Crisis By Jeffrey Rosen October 5, 1998Kenneth Starr's case against himself. \"\" There is Substantial and Credible Information that President Clinton Committed Acts that May Constitute Grounds for an Impeachment,\"\" Kenneth Starr declares in his report to Congress. But the independent counsel does not explain how, precisely, he has decided to define \"\"acts that may constitute grounds for an impeachment.\"\" Starr clearly believes that impeachable offenses are not limited to violations of criminal law, since he includes acts, ranging from bathroom trysts to more formal exercises of executive privilege, that not even he suggests are illegal. But, although Starr has concluded that not all impeachable acts are necessarily criminal, he also seems to have concluded that all criminal acts are potentially impeachable, whether or not ordinary prosecutors would pursue them. The Framers of the Constitution had a different view, holding that high crimes and misdemeanors were, at the core, political offenses that subverted the constitutional structures of government. Judged by this standard, the case against the independent counsel is stronger than the case against the president of the United States. The most expansive definition of the impeachment power was made famous by Gerald Ford. \"\" An impeachable offense,\"\" Ford said memorably, \"\"is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history.\"\" But, except in a purely descriptive sense, this has to be wrong."

By the common law of England it was the duty of every liege subject to inform the king's justices and other officers of the law of all treasons and felonies of which the informant had knowledge, and to bring the offender to justice by arrest (see Sheriffs Act 1887, s. 8). The duty fell primarily on the grand jurors of each county borough or franchise (until the abolition of grand juries in 1933 [1] ), and is performed by indictment or presentment, but it also falls in theory on all other inhabitants. [ 2] Failure by the latter to discharge this public duty constitutes what is known as misprision of treason or felony. [ 3]Misprision of treason, in the words of Blackstone, \"\" [consists] in the bare knowledge and concealment of treason, without any degree of assent thereto: for any assent makes the party a principal traitor\"\". [ 4] According to Bracton, de Corond, seq. 118, failure to reveal the treason of another was in itself high treason, but statutes of 1551–1552 and 1554–1555 made concealment of treason misprision only."

"text": "Treason is a political crime committed against a state or government to which the person charged with treason owes a duty of allegiance. The dictionary defines treason as a �violation of allegiance toward one�s country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one�s country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies. � (American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language) The men signing the Declaration of Independence were acutely aware of the risk they ran of committing treason against the British King to whom, but a short time before, they were firmly bound as subjects. They enumerated in the Declaration a �long train of abuses and usurpations� which they contended dissolved all political connections between the former colonies and Great Britain and absolved them from allegiance to the British Crown. The value of that defense remained to be determined in a civil war. As Thomas Mc Kean, a signer of the Declaration and later Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, observed in an early case that came before him as a judge, �In civil wars, every man chooses his party; but generally that side which prevails arrogates the right of treating those who are vanquished as rebels. � Benjamin Franklin made the point more tellingly when, as he was about to sign the Declaration, he remarked, �We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall hang separately. � In suggesting that hanging might be the fate of those who signed the Declaration, Franklin was choosing an easier end than the one traditionally meted out in England to traitors. Traitors were subject to the ferocious and gruesome punishment of being hanged, drawn, and quartered, reflecting the ancient judgment that a single death was an inadequate response to the crime of plotting the king�s death or seeking to overturn the established order. In the weeks preceding the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress became concerned about colonists, often referred to as loyalists or Tories, who continued to side with the Crown."

This Topic Page concerns Constitutional Rights and Responsibilities. Generally speaking, governments are set up to make society a better, more orderly place to live. They do so by providing rules for conduct, by providing punishments for disobeying the rules, and by providing services to the citizenry. These tasks are typical of all governments. For example, in ancient Rome, murder, robbery, rebellion, and treason were all illegal - a common punishment, especially for slaves and non-citizens, was death by crucifixion. The Roman government also provided public entertainment as well as water and sewage services. Today, there are many things that are crimes, with various fines and jail terms, and sometimes even death, defined as penalties. And the services that are provided are myriad, from road maintenance to food stamps. To do all of these things, governments must be vested with a certain degree of power."

Among other answers given to this, it has been upon different occasions remarked, that the constitutions of several of the states are in a similar predicament. I add, that New-York is of this number. And yet the opposers of the new system in this state, who profess an unlimited admiration for its constitution, are among the most intemperate partizans of a bill of rights. To justify their zeal in this matter, they alledge two things; one is, that though the constitution of New-York has no bill of rights prefixed to it, yet it contains in the body of it various provisions in favour of particular privileges and rights, which in substance amount to the same thing; the other is, that the constitution adopts in their full extent the common and statute law of Great-Britain, by which many other rights not expressed in it are equally secured. To the first I answer, that the constitution proposed by the convention contains, as well as the constitution of this state, a number of such provisions. Independent of those, which relate to the structure of the government, we find the following: Article I. section 3. clause 7. \"\" Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honour, trust or profit under the United States; but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law.\"\""

"text": "\"Answer by Ma9989009 Confidence votes 64.9KAnswer The implied power of judicial review. Explanation It validated Article III of the US Constitution, which granted the Supreme Court the highest level of judicial power in the United States, and delineated which types of cases were properly part of the Court's appellate jurisdiction, and which part of its original jurisdiction. Marshall's interpretation of Article III was that, as an independent branch of the tripartite federal government, part of the Court's responsibility was judicial review, which allows the Supreme Court to analyze legislation and nullify any laws they determine to be unconstitutional. In the case of Marbury v. Madison, (1803), the Marshall Court declared Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 unconstitutional because Congress had overreached their authority by attempting to make the Court responsible for all writs of mandamus. Marshall determined Marbury fell under its appellate jurisdiction, and that the case should be heard in the lower courts. The doctrine of judicial review enabled the Court to check power of the Legislative and Executive branches by preventing them from imposing legislation that violated citizens' constitutional rights. Article III\"\"Section 1. The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office. \"\" Section 2."

S. Constitution, Article II, section 4View Larger Collection of the U. S. House of Representatives About this object Representative Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania, a Radical Republican, gave the last speech during House debate on articles of impeachment against President Andrew Johnson on March 2, 1868. Johnson became the first president impeached by the House, but he was later acquitted by the Senate by one vote. The Constitution gives the House of Representatives the sole power to impeach an official, and it makes the Senate the sole court for impeachment trials. The power of impeachment is limited to removal from office but also provides for a removed officer to be disqualified from holding future office. Fines and potential jail time for crimes committed while in office are left to civil courts. Origins Impeachment comes from British constitutional history. The process evolved from the 14th century as a way for parliament to hold the king’s ministers accountable for their public actions. Impeachment, as Alexander Hamilton of New York explained in Federalist 65, varies from civil or criminal courts in that it strictly involves the “misconduct of public men, or in other words from the abuse or violation of some public trust.” Individual state constitutions had provided for impeachment for “maladministration” or “corruption” before the U. S. Constitution was written."

State constitutions today contain similar limiting definitions of treason against a state. Since national independence there has been almost no action or doctrinal development under the state provisions; the law of treason in the United States has been almost wholly the product of the national Constitution and decisions of federal courts. Treason is the only crime defined in the Constitution, and basic to the treatment of this offense has been a mingling of values protective of government and of individuals. The crime of treason strikes at the foundations of the legal order and deals with the most serious threats to the existence of the state. Congress has reflected this judgment in prescribing penalties that may mount to death or life imprisonment. Where charges have fallen plainly within the bounds of the constitutional definition, judges have firmly applied the law. On the other hand, the limiting language of the Constitution (treason shall consist \"\"only\"\" in the two named forms of the offense), constitutional history, and the responses of judges bear witness to a restrictive approach in marking the outer boundaries of the crime."

Nixon and his close aides also ordered investigations of activist groups and political figures, using the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as political weapons."

In 111 BC, Vietnam became part of the Chinese Empire. For the next thousand years Vietnam struggled to gain its independence from its much larger neighbour. This was achieved in 938 AD. The long period of Chinese rule had left its mark on Vietnam. The language, religion, architecture, system of government and most other aspects of Vietnamese life, reflected the influence of the Chinese. In the 17th Century, French missionaries arrived in Vietnam. The Catholic priests received a friendly welcome from the Vietnamese people and they were allowed to live and work in the country. However, the Vietnamese authorities became concerned when the missionaries began to recruit the local people to Roman Catholicism. The converted Catholics were told to abandon their religious customs including that of taking several wives."

"text": "\"Crimes by Government Officials President Richard Nixon is the only president to have resigned in the history of the United States. He did so in August 1974, rather than go through probable impeachment. It was almost guaranteed that Nixon would be charged, convicted and removed from the oval office for his involvement in one of the most well known governmental scandals. The Watergate Scandal was the title given to the events involving five men breaking and entering into the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters in Washington D. C.’s Watergate complex in June 1972 (an election year). The burglars ransacked offices – they were after something. The FBI found evidence that the burglars were being paid by a fund administered by the Committee for the Re-Election of the President (re-election of Nixon). Robbyn Swan, author of a Richard Nixon biography (The Arrogance of Power), explains that Nixon lied when he said the White House had no implication in the scandal. “ The evidence, including the President’s own comments on a secret recording system, was to show that Nixon orchestrated attempts to obstruct the FBI’s investigation, and the payment of hush money to those arrested. He finally resigned in August 1974, as impeachment loomed,” Swan wrote for The Telegraph. Swan discusses the numerous motives behind the break-in, from wishing to find evidence that certain Democrats were involved in a call-girl ring to finding out if the Democrats had information on a hefty financial contribution given to Nixon from Howard Hughes."

Various Warren Commission (WC) critics have identified a number of people and groups whom they suspect were either involved in the assassination or had foreknowledge of it and did nothing to prevent it because they wanted JFK out of the way. There is a wide difference of opinion among researchers concerning suspects. According to many researchers, the following individuals and groups were involved in the assassination conspiracy or knew about it and did nothing to prevent it:* Lyndon Johnson* The CIA* J. Edgar Hoover* Oil baron H. L. Hunt* Certain Mafia leaders* Anti-Castro Cubans* Ultra-conservative elements in the military* Richard Nixon* Family and allies of South Vietnam's murdered dictator, Ngo Dinh Diem* Fidel Castro Lyndon Johnson Personally, I can't make up my mind about Lyndon Johnson. I suspect Johnson was involved in the plot to murder President Kennedy, but I'm by no means certain, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn he was not involved. I think it's also possible Johnson knew about the plot ahead of time but did nothing to prevent it. All this being said, I think it's clear Johnson was a driving force behind the cover-up that followed the assassination. Some of Johnson's actions in the hours and days following the shooting give me pause and have caused many researchers to suspect Johnson of wrongdoing to varying degrees. By November 1963, Johnson suspected he was going to be dropped from the presidential ticket in 1964, and there is in fact good evidence that JFK was going to get a new running mate for his reelection campaign (26:291-295). Also, Johnson was facing at least one serious probe into his alleged involvement in criminal activity."

"text": "\"Excerpted from an essay by James Cannon: Gerald R. Ford became President not because he was popular with the American public, not because he campaigned for the job, but because of his character. More than any other president of this century, Ford was chosen for his integrity and trustworthiness; his peers in Congress put him in the White House because he told the truth and kept his word. He was nominated for Vice President after Spiro Agnew was forced to resign to avoid indictment for accepting bribes. Ford was confirmed by a House and Senate that expected him to replace a President who was also facing indictment for crimes...... Ford personified what Nixon was not. Ford was honest. He could be trusted. Throughout twenty-five years in the House of Representatives, Ford had proved himself to be a man of integrity. It was for that integrity that the highest powers of Congress, Democratic and Republican, chose Ford to be Vice President, knowing that Nixon's presidency was doomed...... Surely character begins at home, and in Ford's case we know for certain that it began with his mother. Dorothy Gardner Ford was a strong and resourceful woman whose own character was tested at the age of twenty. She grew up in a warm, loving family in a small town in northern Illinois where her father prospered as a businessman and served as town mayor."

Maybe. Maybe not. I wouldn’t bet on it; at least, I wouldn’t bet on impeachment and removal. There will be a lot of nonsense in the news every few months about some Democratic member of Congress or other introducing “Articles of Impeachment” or “starting the impeachment process.” As long as Republicans control Congress, that’s all nonsense; it’s political posturing by the minority party, which has no power whatsoever to impeach Trump while they are the minority. Some Democratic members of Congress will do these sorts of things every so often to make news, to help mobilize their supporters, and to keep the idea of impeachment close enough to the public mind. But none of it has anything to do with the actual impeachment process, which proceeds in a very carefully designed way that is controlled entirely by the majority party in the House of Representatives. So how would you know if Trump was actually about to be impeached? Well, you would have to see these things happen, roughly in this order: One of the investigations into Trump and his associates’ activities would have to issue some form of report finding evidence of behavior which could be linked directly to the president and which would warrant impeachment."

"text": "\"pardon Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia . Pardon The action of an executive official of the government that mitigates or sets aside the punishment for a crime. The granting of a pardon to a person who has committed a crime or who has been convicted of a crime is an act of clemency, which forgives the wrongdoer and restores the person's Civil Rights. At the federal level, the president has the power to grant a pardon, and at the state level thegovernor or a pardon board made up of high-ranking state officials may grant it. The power to grant a pardon derives from the English system in which the king had, as one of hisroyal prerogatives, the right to forgive virtually all forms of crimes against the crown. The Framers of the U. S. Constitution, in Article II, Section 2, Clause 1, provided that the president \"\"shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.\"\" Throughout U. S. history the courts have interpreted this clause to give the presidentvirtually unlimited power to issue pardons to individuals or groups and to impose conditions on theforgiveness. The first major court case involving the pardon power, Ex parte Garland, 71 U. S. (4 Wall.) 333, 18 L. Ed. 366 (1866), established both the scope of the pardon power and the legal effect on a personwho was pardoned."

"text": "\"Context1968: A Nation in Turmoil When Richard Nixon became the thirty-seventh president of the United States, he assumed leadership of a country in turmoil. In 1968, the year of his election, Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union shaped American foreign policy, and Americans were at loggerheads over U. S. participation in the war in Vietnam. At home, the country was divided over the civil rights movement and how to fix racial segregation in schools. The economy, once strong, strained under government efforts to conduct war and support social welfare programs simultaneously. National television had broadcast the social and political protests by young people on college campuses, including footage of the police brutally breaking up demonstrations in the park near the convention center during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Lyndon Johnson, who had soundly defeated Republican archconservative Barry Goldwater in 1964, had decided not to run for re-election, having been forced to withdraw by bad publicity that focused, in particular, on the quagmire in Vietnam and Johnson's poor showings in the primaries. Eugene Mc Carthy and Robert Kennedy had emerged as serious challenges to Johnson's leadership, although Robert Kennedy's assassination — just months after the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. — had resulted in the Democratic Party's nomination of Johnson's vice president, Hubert Humphrey, to head the party ticket. At the same time, Alabama Governor George Wallace led a third-party revolt that drew strength from southerners opposed to integration and northern blue-collar voters alienated by the scenes of radical protest and by Johnson's Great Society programs of social welfare benefits for minorities and the poor. In this political climate, the Republican Party turned to one of its stalwarts, a comeback kid from California who had been vice president in the Eisenhower administration. The \"\"Silent Majority\"\"Nixon had run for president and lost to John Kennedy in 1960."

Res. 803, giving its Judiciary Committee authority to investigate whether sufficient grounds existed to impeach Richard Nixon, the 37th President of the United States [1] of high crimes and misdemeanors, primarily related to the Watergate scandal. This investigation was undertaken one year after the United States Senate established a select committee to investigate the 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D. C. and the Nixon Administration 's attempted cover-up of its involvement. Following a subpoena from the Judiciary Committee, in April 1974 edited transcripts of many Watergate-related conversations from the Nixon White House tapes were made public by Nixon, but the committee pressed for full tapes and additional conversations. Nixon refused, but on July 24, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled against him. On July 27, 29, and 30, 1974, the Committee approved three articles of impeachment against Nixon, for obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress, and reported those articles to the House of Representatives. Two other articles of impeachment were debated but not approved. Before the House could vote on the impeachment resolutions, Nixon made public one of the additional conversations, known as the \"\"Smoking Gun Tape\"\", which made clear his complicity in the cover-up. With his political support completely eroded, Nixon resigned from office on August 9, 1974."

"text": "\"Chitrangada Singh, We write to taste life twice!Answered Jul 19, 2017The Watergate scandal is touted to be one of the worst political controversies in the history of United States as well as the world. It all began in the morning of June 17, 1972 when several men broke into the Democratic National Committee located in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington DC to wiretap the phone lines and steal the documents. They had attempted this on May 11,1972 also but this time they were caught. This was in connection with the re-election campaign of President Richard Nixon (Republican) against George Mc Govern (Democrat). President Nixon tried desperately to cover-up his tracks with the help of his Chief-of-Staff, Bob Haldeman and his lawyer, John Dean. He denied any involvement of himself or his staff in the break-in. He managed to keep himself out of the scandal and was re-elected as the President in the November of 1972. But eventually, the investigations led to his tie-up with an ex-CIA officer Howard Hunt from where things got ugly and soon the involvement of Nixon was established. The whole scandal was uncovered by two journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein who succeeded in trailing the money (that was given to the burglars to keep them quiet) back to the President. Avoiding the certain impeachment by the Congress, the President thought better to resign and became the first President in the history of the United States of America to resign his Presidency on August 9, 1974."

But if you are over 18 or if a judge has decided you should be tried in adult court, you will go through adult criminal proceedings which have some important differences from the juvenile justice system. You can find more information about the justice system in Alaska and how it may affect juveniles at www.beforeyouplea.com/ak. This section also explains some kinds of help you can get if you are the victim of a crime or if you are a witness to a crime. Finally, this section tells you about some kinds of crimes and what behavior can make you guilty of those crimes. Important Note: In this section, the word “police” or “law enforcement officers” includes city or borough police, Alaska State Troopers, or Village Public Safety Officers (VSPO’s).

When a juvenile violates a criminal statute, the consequences are usually very different from those if an adult broke the same law. Sometimes the Juvenile Court process is more lenient than the adult court, but sometimes it can be more onerous. A juvenile offender can find himself in Juvenile Court if he violates a criminal statute; that is, a state or federal law that allows for violators to be punished by a sentence to jail or prison.

Generally, there are three varieties of offenses: felonies, misdemeanors and infractions, though the terms for these three categories may differ from state to state. A felony is a crime that could result in an adult being sentenced to state prison, usually a sentence of over a year. Felonies include burglary, robbery, weapons assaults, violent sex crimes, murder, grand theft, and sale of any illegal drugs, to name a few. Misdemeanors are less serious crimes, but can still result in a sentence of up to a year in the County Jail, if committed by an adult."

Introduction The death penalty has been one of the most debated issues of our contemporary system of justice. Although the death penalty is generally tolerated under international law, the same cannot be said of the execution of juvenile offenders. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights requires that the death penalty be only imposed “for the most serious crimes,” and never upon those who were under 18 years of age at the time of their crime. Virtually all the countries of the world have signed or ratified this important treaty, including most recently, China. The United States, however, is the only country with an outstanding reservation to the Article forbidding the execution of juvenile offenders. America has a long history of executing juveniles. The first instance of juvenile execution took place in Massachusetts in 1642, before United States’ formally became a sovereign nation in 1776. Since that time, a total of 281 youthful offenders were executed. As of August 1, 1987, there were thirty-two juvenile offenders on death row."

Available: http://www.westerncriminology.org/documents/WCR/v01n1/Umbreit/umbreit.html ABSTRACTThe relatively new and emerging practice theory of restorative justice emphasizes the need to provide opportunities for those most directly affected by crime (victims, communities, and offenders) to be directly involved in responding to the impact of crime and restoring the losses incurred by victims. Victim-offender mediation, a process which allows crime victims to meet fact-to-face with the offender to talk about the impact of the crime and to develop a restitution plan, is the oldest and most empirically grounded restorative justice intervention. This article reports on a study of victim-offender mediation in four sites with juvenile offenders and their victims, along with related studies. High levels of victim and offender satisfaction with the mediation process have been found, along with high successful restitution completion rates and reduced fear among crime victims. Keywords : restoration, mediation, restitution, victims, accountability, reparation, restorative justice, balanced justice, balanced approach, victim services, community corrections, community justice Restorative Justice Through Victim-Offender Mediation: A Multi-Site Assessment One of the most significant current developments in thinking about crime is the growing interest in restorative justice theory (Umbreit 1996, 1994a, 1989a; Umbreit and Coates 1992; Van Ness and Strong 1997; Wright 1991; Wright and Galaway 1989; Zehr 1990, 1985)."

"text": "Issues Pros and Cons of Juveniles Being Tried As Adults By apecsecadmin - Feb 15, 2015 074408Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter As juvenile offenders make their way into courtrooms around the country, the debate rages on about whether they should be tried as adults. There are viable points to be made on both sides of the argument and this is not a debate that looks ready to die down anytime soon. The following is a closer investigation of the pros and cons. The Pros of Juveniles Being Tried As Adults1. Proponents for trying juveniles as adults believe that a crime is a crime, even if the person who committed it was very young at the time. Typically, juveniles who display a propensity for committing crime will continue to do so, even as they get older. Their crimes may even become more serious in nature. The victim still suffers, even if the perpetrator is a juvenile.2. A juvenile who is tried as an adult could end up being scared straight, which will deter them from continuing to break the law. Spending a few nights in jail around hardened criminals can often be the wake up call that a juvenile offender needs in order to realize the error of their ways and make the necessary changes to their lifestyle.3."

Juvenile crime does not only affect the individuals who commit the crime, it also affects the victim of the crime. This also affects the juvenile in their adult lives as the crime can be on their record as long as they live. Experts still have not found the main reason why juveniles commit crimes. However, they have come up with a number of reasons of why, which I will be discussing in this paper. The largest, and most common risk factor is the demise of the family life and the increase in family violence. Some say that the manner in which you are raised determines how you will be when you grow up. So, doesn’t it make sense to say that if you were raised poorly, you would be more prone to run into problems such as crime as you grow up? Between the 1970’s and early 1990’s, the number of juveniles living in poverty has grown largely for a number of reasons. This factor alone has caused a noticeable increase in crimes by juveniles."

C. — A task force of attorneys, judges, law enforcement officials and school administrators say North Carolina should raise the age in which a person can be criminally charged as an adult from 16 to 18. The bipartisan Youth Accountability Task Force released a draft of the recommendations of its two-year study to the General Assembly on Friday. The suggestion is to raise the age of juvenile jurisdiction only for misdemeanors and low-level nonviolent felony offenses. It would not apply in cases where a person is accused of violent crimes. “North Carolina is doing a mediocre job with 16- and 17-year-olds, because we have them in a system that’s inappropriate for their needs and inappropriate for their actions,” said task force Chairwoman state Rep. Alice Bordson, D-Alamance. “ We need to change how we deal with these young people. ”Members of the task force said they believe it could help decrease the recidivism rate by as much as 10 percent among 16- and 17-year-olds. \"\" If you've got some young person who's living in the dark, you're not going to scare them out of the dark\"\" by punishing them like an adult, said Mark Galloway, the chief district court judge for Person and Caswell counties who worked with the task force. \"\" Leading them into the light is going to take a little more effort. \"\" Supporters said changing the law passed in 1919 wouldn't take away prosecutors' ability to try teenagers as adults in the gravest cases."

This publication provides more up-to-date data, generally through 2011. Updating this information for policymakers is particularly important in light of major criminal justice law changes implemented in 2011 that shifted—or “realigned”—significant responsibilities from state corrections agencies to county governments. Such data gives policymakers a picture of the state’s criminal justice system prior to the full implementation of the 2011 realignment, against which they can evaluate how the system changed following the realignment (such as in terms of crime rates, court caseloads, and correctional populations). This primer is organized into different sections that seek to answer key questions about the criminal justice system in California. Chapter 1 provides a general overview of the state’s criminal justice system, including information on the respective roles of different state and local agencies. Chapters 2 through 5 provide a series of charts and tables on each of the four major stages of the criminal justice system: (1) the commission of crimes, (2) arrest by law enforcement agencies, (3) prosecution in the trial courts, and (4) state and local corrections. Chapter 6 discusses some of the recent significant policy changes in California criminal justice, as well as some of the major criminal justice policy challenges facing policymakers in the next few years. The Appendix of this report provides a detailed list of the major policy changes in the past 20 years, as well as selected LAO publications related to criminal justice. Chapter 1: Overview of California’s Criminal Justice System The primary goal of the criminal justice system in California is to provide public safety by deterring and preventing crime, punishing individuals who commit crime, and reintegrating criminals back into the community."

Critics of the juvenile death penalty say: Because juveniles' brains are not yet fully developed and juveniles are less mature than adults, they should not be punished as adults. National consensus now recognizes the juvenile death penalty to be cruel and unusual punishment, so the practice should be declared unconstitutional. Supporters of the juvenile death penalty say: Punishment should be based not on age but on the severity of the crime. Most young people understand that crimes such as murder are wrong. Also, the threat of being sentenced to death for certain crimes acts as a strong deterrent for would-be offenders. Making young people pay with their lives for certain crimes has a long history in the U. S.

"text": "\"There are many factors that contribute to juvenile crime, including, but not limited to, poor education, low school attendance, peer pressure, disadvantaged socioeconomic status, and substance abuse. Criminal psychology degree programs look at each of these factors to understand how they affect youth and how these negative influences can be curtailed. In the fields of criminal psychology and criminology, a great deal of academic attention has been placed on juvenile crime. And with good reason—the most recent data from the National Center for Juvenile Justice shows that juveniles constitute around 1 in 4 arrests for property crimes, such as burglary, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. It is clear that the propensity for criminal behavior begins much earlier than adulthood. Post-secondary criminology degree programs recognize the need for intervention at a young age, and that in order to prevent juvenile crime, its causes must first be understood. The factors that drive a young person to crime can be complex—many times, a combination of factors interact and play off of each other—and unraveling these negative influences can be challenging. In order to fight criminal behavior at the root, criminology professionals frequently begin by understanding the broad social, political, and environmental factors that have been shown to influence teen criminal behavior. Insufficient Education Criminology data regarding undereducated children and juvenile crime show a strong correlation. From an early age, failure at school is an important factor for predicting future criminal behavior."

"text": "Causes of Juvenile Delinquency Solutions to Solve/Prevent the Problem When crimes are committed by young people, it is considered juvenile delinquency. It can be any type of crime, kinds that are committed by all ages. But because young adolescents and teenagers have less comprehension of the consequences their actions can cause, they are punished differently by the juvenile court system. The punishment juveniles receive when convicted of committing a crime are designed to prevent them from committing another illegal act. Causes of Juvenile Delinquency1Family Issues Family plays a huge part in the development of an adolescent, both positive and negative. Adolescents learn what is and is not acceptable by the surrounding environments, which is dominated by the family life. For example, if a father disrespects and hits a mother, then a son might consider this as acceptable and copy it later in his life. Coming from a broken home through abandonment or divorce can profoundly affect a teen's perception of life. Sometimes in these situations, a teen can be neglected, punished too harshly or not regularly disciplined. Any of these conditions can cause juvenile delinquency as the teen has missed out on complete moral development.2Outside Influences Outside influences or other things out of anyone's control can be the causes of juvenile delinquency."

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents are usually involved with the investigation of federal crimes including bombings, mail fraud, kidnappings, serial killers, and identity theft. They may work with local and Federal agencies to move the investigation forward and have constant contact with those involved in the case such as suspects and witnesses. An FBI agent needs to have strong deductive reasoning to extrapolate information from a set of data given or provided to them. They examine the evidence at the crime scene and deduct the actions that have taken place, possible motive, and leads on where to start the investigation. A field agent will report in at the office and receive their assignments. These will be followed through with and reported to their superiors, and finally sent to Washington. Agents may work in close association with forensic scientists and technicians in the investigation of crime. The forensics lab in Washington is where all of the data and evidence is sent for testing and verification purposes. The agents working in the labs are highly trained and use the latest in technology to extrude information from the evidence found at a crime scene or as part of an investigation."

Comey’s testimony is telling — not only did Trump demand “loyalty” and “honest loyalty” from Comey, but he also asked what the FBI director could do to “lift the cloud” of the investigation. But do Trump’s actions amount to obstruction of justice? And what does obstruction of justice mean in this context? I asked six constitutional and criminal law experts to think through these questions. “The [Michael] Flynn matter surely confirms that he wanted the investigation closed,” Joshua Dressler, a law professor at Ohio State University, told me after reading Comey’s prepared remarks. “"

I merely want to highlight what I see as a large number of gross \"\"peculiarities\"\" surrounding the Foster case. I hope to convey to the reader some sense of the sheer weight of over 100 discrepancies and unanswered questions. Also bear in mind that the number \"\"101\"\" is itself a modest number. As a practical matter, I was forced to omit dozens of striking anomalies. As you read this long list, consider that Vince Foster's death was almost immediately labeled a suicide by the U. S. Park Police. Normal procedure in the case of a violent death is to treat it as a homicide until all doubts are resolved. Despite this, a homicide investigation was never launched. Even before the death scene or the body had been inspected, a suicide confirmation process was under way. In her sworn Senate testimony, senior Park Police officer Cheryl Braun said, \"\"We made that determination [of suicide] prior to going up and looking at the body.\"\""

Chabinsky Deputy Assistant Director, Cyber Division Federal Bureau of Investigation Statement Before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security Washington, D. C. November 17, 2009Good morning Chairman Cardin, Ranking Member Kyl, and distinguished members of the subcommittee. I am pleased to be here today to discuss the Federal Bureau of Investigation's role in reducing our nation's risk from acts of cyber terrorism, cyber espionage, and cyber crime. The Cyber Threat and the FBI's Cyber Program The FBI considers the cyber threat against our nation to be one of the greatest concerns of the 21st century. Despite the enormous advantages of the Internet, our networked systems leave a gaping and widening hole in the security posture of both our private sector and government systems. An increasing array of sophisticated state and non-state actors have the capability to steal, alter, or destroy our sensitive data and, in the worst of cases, to manipulate from afar the process control systems that are meant to ensure the proper functioning of portions of our critical infrastructure. Moreover, the number of actors with the ability to utilize computers for illegal, harmful, and possibly devastating purposes continues to rise. When assessing the extent of the cyber threat, the FBI considers both the sophistication and the intent of our adversaries. The most sophisticated actors have the ability to alter our hardware and software along the global supply chain route, conduct remote intrusions into our networks, establish the physical and technical presence necessary to re-route and monitor our wireless communications, and plant dangerous insiders within our private sector and government organizations. The actors that currently have all of these capabilities—which is a finding that is distinct from whether and when they are using them—include multiple nation states and likely include some organized crime groups. In the cyber realm, the technical positioning an adversary requires to steal data typically provides them with the very same access and systems administrator rights that could be used for destructive purposes."

The FBI has been quiet, but now we have learned it’s for good reason! As sources inform Fox News’ Catherine Herridge (below), Hillary Clinton is about to be in serious trouble!As Rep. Mike Pompeo, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News:“I can assure you the intelligence committee is working on determining the scope of any breaches that may have resulted from the improper handling of classified information, and the damage assessments that go with them. I think we all understand that we had classified information in channels that weren’t secure on Secretary Clinton’s homebrew server and that risk was associated with that. ”Then, Herridge explains how her sources are focused on how “federal regulations require damage assessments after classified information is outside secure government channels, such as a personal server. ”Therefore, if Pompeo is correct, then the FBI is focused on determining internally what classified information was mishandled… Which it clearly was, as the documents included more than 22 emails that were “top secret and above.” Once that is investigation is complete, the FBI will have no other choice but to go after Hillary Clinton.

Jason Elias for Discovery Channel Share Culture Unabomber crime FBI Ted Kaczynski Discovery Channel You’ve probably seen the black and white police sketch of a man with a mustache, wearing dark aviators and a hoodie, a patch of curly hair peaking out from underneath. That ominous image tormented Americans for years, because the man behind those sunglasses was responsible for a string of terrorist attacks that killed three people and maimed dozens more from 1978 to 1995. You’ve probably also heard about how this man—known only as the Unabomber—sent increasingly sophisticated bombs to unsuspecting victims in the science, technology and airline industries. Some sustained minor injuries and others suffered shrapnel wounds and severe burns, and their lost fingers and eyesight. A computer store owner, advertising executive and timber industry lobbyist were murdered when they opened seemingly innocuous packages sent to their offices and homes. The search for the Unabomber was one of the longest and most expensive manhunts in FBI history, and it may never have ended had it not been for Jim Fitzgerald, an FBI profiler with an unorthodox approach to identifying the killer. That’s the story you probably don’t know—and it’s now the subject of a new Discovery Channel series, Manhunt: Unabomber (premieres Tuesday, 9 ET/PT), starring Sam Worthington ( Avatar ), Paul Bettany ( Captain America: Civil War, A Beautiful Mind), Chris Noth (“The Good Wife,” “Sex In The City”) and Jane Lynch (“Glee,” “Hollywood Game Night. ”)RELATED: How a shark attack saved 'Shark Week' star's life Recommended Slideshows44In Pictures: Every U.

July 28, 2010Good morning, Chairman Scott, Ranking Member Gohmert, and members of the subcommittee. I appreciate the opportunity to testify before you today regarding the FBI’s efforts to combat cyber crime as it relates to social networking sites. Let me begin by acknowledging that the rapid expansion of the Internet has allowed us to learn, to communicate, and to conduct business in ways that were unimaginable 20 years ago. Still, the same technology, to include the surge in the use of social networking sites over the past two years, has given cyber thieves and child predators new, highly effective avenues to take advantage of unsuspecting users. These cyber criminals are using a variety of schemes to defraud or victimize innocent social networking site users, some of which I would like to highlight today. Social Engineering Regardless of the social networking site, users continue to be fooled online by persons claiming to be somebody else. Unlike the physical world, individuals can misrepresent everything about themselves while they communicate online, ranging not only from their names and business affiliations (something that is fairly easy to do in-person as well), but extending as well to their gender, age, and location (identifiers that are far more difficult to fake in-person). Years ago, we called these types of people confidence or “con” men. Perhaps as a result of today’s high-tech times, con artists are now referred to as being engaged in social engineering. It should come as no surprise to learn that the FBI is investigating classic investment fraud schemes, such as Ponzi schemes, that are now being carried out in virtual worlds."

"text": "Frequently Asked Questions on CODIS and NDISPlease note that these questions and responses refer specifically to the National DNA Index System; state DNA databases operate in accordance with the applicable state law, and questions concerning the operation of a particular state DNA database should be directed to that state. CODIS1. What is CODIS? CODIS is the acronym for the Combined DNA Index System and is the generic term used to describe the FBI’s program of support for criminal justice DNA databases as well as the software used to run these databases. The National DNA Index System or NDIS is considered one part of CODIS, the national level, containing the DNA profiles contributed by federal, state, and local participating forensic laboratories. CODIS DNA Databases2. How do these DNA databases using CODIS work? For example, in the case of a sexual assault where an evidence kit is collected from the victim, a DNA profile of the suspected perpetrator is developed from the swabs in the kit. The forensic unknown profile attributed to the suspected perpetrator is searched against their state database of convicted offender and arrestee profiles (contained within the Convicted Offender and Arrestee Indices, if that state is authorized to collect and database DNA samples from arrestees). If there is a candidate match in the Convicted Offender or Arrestee Index, the laboratory will go through procedures to confirm the match and, if confirmed, will obtain the identity of the suspected perpetrator."

I've spent years investigating, and here's what's known. By DAVID CAY JOHNSTONMay 22, 2016Facebook Twitter Google +Email Comment Print In his signature book, The Art of the Deal, Donald Trump boasted that when he wanted to build a casino in Atlantic City, he persuaded the state attorney general to limit the investigation of his background to six months. Most potential owners were scrutinized for more than a year. Trump argued that he was “clean as a whistle”—young enough that he hadn’t had time to get into any sort of trouble. He got the sped-up background check, and eventually got the casino license. But Trump was not clean as a whistle. Beginning three years earlier, he’d hired mobbed-up firms to erect Trump Tower and his Trump Plaza apartment building in Manhattan, including buying ostensibly overpriced concrete from a company controlled by mafia chieftains Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno and Paul Castellano. That story eventually came out in a federal investigation, which also concluded that in a construction industry saturated with mob influence, the Trump Plaza apartment building most likely benefited from connections to racketeering."

We welcome your Subcommittee's leadership in dealing with the serious issues associated with the theft of intellectual property. Your Subcommittee's bill, the \"\"Piracy Deterrence and Education Act of 2003,\"\" is a positive step toward making Americans aware of the security, privacy and criminal issues related to trafficking in copyrighted works.

A July 11th story in the Chicago Tribune relates only a small segment of crime on the Internet. The article discusses the thousands of computers that have been hijacked by purveyors of pornographic web sites.

"text": "\"IC21: The Intelligence Community in the 21st Century Staff Study Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence House of Representatives One Hundred Fourth Congress XIII. Intelligence and Law Enforcement Executive Summary For years, the intelligence and law enforcement communities have maintained an uneven, and at times an antagonistic relationship. This is due partly to differences in the roles and cultures of the two communities, as both have different responsibilities and objectives, as well as expectations regarding information acquisition and management, and because of differing end uses for that information. There have been other factors that have affected the interaction between law enforcement and intelligence. During the 1970's, investigations into improper domestic intelligence activities uncovered some degree of overreaching of intelligence into domestic areas. One of the results of these investigations was that the two communities tended to further distance themselves from one another over concern about further inadvertent missteps. Then, beginning in the late 1980's, two banking scandals (BCCI -- Bank of Credit and Commerce International -- and BNL -- Banca Nazionale del Lavoro) highlighted deficiencies in information management within and between the two communities. Investigators from Congress and the Intelligence Community itself recommended that problems relating to coordination and information management be remedied. Several other phenomena have focused the attention of the Committee and others on the future relationship between the two communities. Over the past 10 years, a number of statutes have been enacted that expand the extraterritorial responsibilities of U. S. law enforcement agencies."

R. de Szigethy PROLOGUE On a warm Summer day in 1971, Joe Colombo, the Godfather of one of New York City's 5 Mafia families, was at the height of his personal power and prestige. The American Mafia was highly structured at that time, with a set of unwritten rules that every member was expected to abide by. One such rule was that journalists and members of law enforcement were never to be harmed. This rule was for self-preservation; if a Mafia member hurt such a person, the resultant publicity would prompt those in those professions to redouble their efforts to bring about Justice for one of their own. Godfathers themselves were expected to avoid publicity at all costs, as publicity was deemed bad for business. This Cardinal rule would be brazenly broken by Joe Colombo upon ascending to the crime family that would be known by his name in 1964. Godfather Colombo \"\"went public,\"\" courting the Media spotlight like a rock star, a persona John Gotti would later emulate. Stealing a cue from FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who for many years had implausibly claimed that organized crime did not exist in America, Colombo founded the Italian-American Civil Rights League, the purpose of which was to deny the Mafia existed, and brand anyone who claimed so as an anti-Italian racist. The movement caught on quickly; 50,000 people would jam into Manhattan's Columbus Circle on June 29, 1970, at the League's first public rally."

These crimes are characterized by deceit, concealment, or violation of trust and are not dependent upon the application or threat of physical force or violence. Such acts are committed by individuals and organizations to obtain personal or business advantage. The FBI focuses its financial crimes investigations on such criminal activities as corporate fraud, securities and commodities fraud, health care fraud, financial institution fraud, mortgage fraud, insurance fraud, mass marketing fraud, and money laundering. These are the identified priority crime problem areas of the Financial Crimes Section (FCS) of the FBI. Mission: The mission of the FCS is to oversee the investigation of financial fraud and to facilitate the forfeiture of assets from those engaging in federal crimes. In fiscal years (FY) 2010-2011, the FCS was comprised of the Asset Forfeiture/Money Laundering Unit (AF/MLU), the Economic Crimes Unit (ECU), the Health Care Fraud Unit (HCFU), the Forensic Accountant Unit (FAU), the Financial Institution Fraud Unit (FIFU), and the Financial Intelligence Center (FIC). The ECU is responsible for significant frauds targeted against individuals, businesses, and industries, to include corporate fraud, insurance fraud (non-health care-related), securities and commodities fraud (e.g., investment fraud schemes such as Ponzi, pyramid, and advanced fee schemes and securities market manipulation schemes), and mass marketing fraud. The HCFU oversees investigations targeting individuals and/or organizations who are defrauding public and private health care systems. Areas investigated under the HCFU include billing for services not rendered, billing for a higher reimbursable service than performed (upcoding), performing unnecessary services, kickbacks, unbundling of tests and services to generate higher fees, durable medical equipment (DME) fraud, pharmaceutical drug diversion, outpatient surgery fraud, and Internet pharmacy sales."

"text": "Death Penalty Before discussing capital punishment, we must determine what punishment is and what the main theories of punishment are. Punishment is harm inflicted by a person in a position of authority upon another person who is judged to have violated the law. NOTES: Since typically harming people is wrong, punishment is guilty utile proven innocent, as it were. So, the burden of proof is on its proponents. The notion of authority is crucial. The main theories of punishment are: Retributivist, which aim at the balance justice: by the punishment proportionally fitting the crime justice is done. NOTES: There is empirical evidence that applying retribution even at a cost to oneself is innate; whether it is justified is another issue. When punishing, parts of the brain associated with pleasure become activated Utilitarian, which aim at incapacitation, amelioration, and deterrence Some figures:· From 1973 to 2009 there have been 1,188 executions in the US.· In 2009 there were 3,279 people on death row: 1,364 blacks, 370 Hispanics, 1457 whites, and 77 classified as ‘other’.· In 2005 the highest number of executions was in China (by far the most), Iran (94), Saudi Arabia (86), and the US (60).·"

The term criminology was coined in 1885 by Italian law professor Raffaele Garofalo as criminologia. Later, French anthropologist Paul Topinard used the analogous French term criminologie.

"text": "Home | CEE | 2nd edition | Law and Economics“ L aw and economics,” also known as the economic analysis of law, differs from other forms of legal analysis in two main ways. First, the theoretical analysis focuses on efficiency. In simple terms, a legal situation is said to be efficient if a right is given to the party who would be willing to pay the most for it. There are two distinct theories of legal efficiency, and law and economics scholars support arguments based on both. The positive theory of legal efficiency states that the common law (judge-made law, the main body of law in England and its former colonies, including the United States) is efficient, while the normative theory is that the law should be efficient. It is important that the two theories remain separate. Most economists accept both. Law and economics stresses that markets are more efficient than courts. When possible, the legal system, according to the positive theory, will force a transaction into the market. When this is impossible, the legal system attempts to “mimic a market” and guess at what the parties would have desired if markets had been feasible."

E. A VIOLATION OF NORMS / SOCIETY'S INFORMAL RULESDeviance is behavior or ideology that does not conform to the prevailing norms of society Deviance is defined as the recognized violation of cultural norms The functionalist perspective in deviance & social control is best represented by Emile Durkheim & Talcott Parsons One category of deviance is crime, the violation of a society's formally enacted criminal law What all deviant actions or attitudes have in common is some element of difference that causes us to regard another person as an \"\"outsider\"\"Not all deviance involves action or even choice Dev is the violation of norms & expectations Dev is the violation of norms accepted by either a significant number of people in a community or society, or those w/ the power to enforce them Just as there are important differences among situations in which norms are appropriate, there are also important differences about the relative seriousness of types of norm or law violating behavior Deviance, like conformity, is shaped by society The concept of deviance has TWELVE qualities / social foundations1. DEVIANCE IS DEFINED BY SOCIETYDeviance / norms are created or defined by society, i.e. a general consensus Thus, what is deviant is NOT a property inherent in the thing or act2. DEVIANCE IS NON-CONFORMITYDeviance does not conform to expectations & norms that exist w/in a society Deviance varies according to cultural norms3. GROUP INTERESTS DEFINE DEVIANCEGroup interests play important role in defining deviance4. POWERFUL GROUPS DEFINE DEVIANCELarge or powerful segments of society determine norms & thus determine what is or is not deviant Both norms & the way people define them involve social power People at the bottom of the socio economic scale are most often labeled as deviant, because the powerful in society determine what is deviant Link However \"\"deviant\"\" something may be, unless the powerful disapprove, it is not deviant Thus a behavior participated in by all or a majority of people can still be considered deviant For conflict theorists, deviance is defined & enforced in a way that perpetuates the dominance of elites over the less powerful or powerless Studies of the sociology of rule making show that what is defined as deviant is the outcome of a political process Group interests play an important role in defining what behaviors are considered deviant or normal Conflict theorists agree that a disharmony of interests exists in modern society From the conflict perspective, norms don't involve agreement among a majority of people, norms reflect the interests of people w/ enough power to enforce norms POWER INFLUENCES SOCIAL NORMSSoc norms are strongly influenced by the divisions of power The grp w/ the most power can define the norms The dominant group tries to enforce its norms, but not everyone agrees w/ the dominant grp The existence of power points to the existence of inequality Some grps may follow norms & values even though they don't agree w/ them For some grps, norms & values are not in their best interest Conflict & inequality are created when grps follow norms & values even through they don't agree or when those norms & values are not in their best interest5. DEFINITIONS OF DEVIANCE VARY BY WHO DOES THE ACTObservations of social interaction reveal that definitions of deviance tend to vary according to who performs the act6. MOST PEOPLE VIOLATE RULESFew people are arrested & processed as criminals, self report surveys reveal most people violate rules7. THE EFFECT OF DEVIANCE IS OFTEN MAGNIFIED BY THE LABELING EFFECT WHERE PEOPLE ARE MORE IMPACTED BY THE LABEL OF BEING DEVIANT THAT THEY ARE BY THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DEVIANT ACTPeople become deviant as others define them that way See Also: Labeling Theory8. DEVIANCE VARIES ACROSS CONTEXTSBehavior must be context appropriate: what is normal in one context may be deviant in another9. DEVIANCE VARIES CROSS CULTURALLYThe nature of deviance changes from culture to culture The nature of deviance changes from culture to culture due to the fact that behavior is socially labeled as deviant or normal & the individual cultures & societies define deviance in their own ways Cross cultural analysis indicates that notions of right & wrong vary among cultures10."

"text": "\"CRIME CAUSATION: SOCIOLOGICAL THEORIESThis entry focuses on the three major sociological theories of crime and delinquency: strain, social learning, and control theories. It then briefly describes several other important theories of crime, most of which represent elaborations of these three theories. Finally, efforts to develop integrated theories of crime are briefly discussed. All of the theories that are described explain crime in terms of the social environment, including the family, school, peer group, workplace, community, and society. These theories, however, differ from one another in several ways: they focus on somewhat different features of the social environment, they offer different accounts of why the social environment causes crime, and some focus on explaining individual differences in crime while others attempt to explain group differences in crime (e.g., why some communities have higher crime rates than other communities). Strain theory Why do people engage in crime according to strain theory? They experience strain or stress, they become upset, and they sometimes engage in crime as a result. They may engage in crime to reduce or escape from the strain they are experiencing. For example, they may engage in violence to end harassment from others, they may steal to reduce financial problems, or they may run away from home to escape abusive parents. They may also engage in crime to seek revenge against those who have wronged them."

The reasoning may be to condition a child to avoid self-endangerment, to impose social conformity (in particular, in the contexts of compulsory education or military discipline ), to defend norms, to protect against future harms (in particular, those from violent crime ), and to maintain the law —and respect for rule of law —under which the social group is governed. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Punishment may be self-inflicted as with self-flagellation and mortification of the flesh in the religious setting, but is most often a form of social coercion. The unpleasant imposition may include a fine, penalty, or confinement, or be the removal or denial of something pleasant or desirable. The individual may be a person, or even an animal. The authority may be either a group or a single person, and punishment may be carried out formally under a system of law or informally in other kinds of social settings such as within a family. [ 2] Negative consequences that are not authorized or that are administered without a breach of rules are not considered to be punishment as defined here. [ 4] The study and practice of the punishment of crimes, particularly as it applies to imprisonment, is called penology, or, often in modern texts, corrections; in this context, the punishment process is euphemistically called \"\"correctional process\"\". [ 6] Research into punishment often includes similar research into prevention."

"text": "Classical Theory in Criminology Topics: Crime, Criminology, Criminal justice Pages: 5 (1740 words) Published: October 30, 2011Classical School Classical theory in criminology has its roots in the theories of the 18th century Italian nobleman and economist, Cesare Beccaria and the English philosopher, Jeremy Bentham (Hollin, 2004, 2). It was based on principles of utilitarian philosophy. Cesare Beccaria, author of On Crimes and Punishments (1763–64), Jeremy Bentham, inventor of the panopticon, and other classical school philosophers based their arguments as follows, (1) People have free will to choose how to act (2) Deterrence is based upon the notion of the human being as a 'hedonist' who seeks pleasure and avoids pain, and a 'rational calculator' weighing up the costs and benefit consequences of each action. ( 3) Punishment (of sufficient severity) can deter people from crime, as the costs (penalties) outweigh benefits, and that severity of punishment should be proportionate to the crime. ( 4) The more swift and certain the punishment, the more effective it is in deterring criminal behavior. Pre 18th century was a time in history when punishment for crime was severe in the extreme, and both men proffered the theory of utility. It should be remembered that the Classical school of thought came about at a time when major reform in penology occurred, with prisons developed as a more civilized form of punishment. Also, this time period saw many legal reforms, like the French Revolution, and the development of the legal system in the United States. New theorists like Beccaria and Bentham looked at the causes of criminal and delinquent behavior, and began to scientifically explain such deviance (Juvenile, 2005, 71). They rejected theories of naturalism and demonology which characterized the European Enlightenment as explanations for these types of behavior."

"text": "\"Theoretical perspectives on juvenile delinquency: root causes and control. Link/Page Citation Although progress has been made in past decades, the plight of youths in contemporary American society is still one of this country's most ominous dilemmas, conspicuously different from the decadence that their predecessors faced a century ago. Today, American youths experience violence, both as victims and perpetrators, at alarming rates. At the same time, authorities are quick to recommend retribution--in the form of punishment--in order to control the trends in juvenile offending. In some cases, adolescents charged with offenses are even transferred from juvenile courts to adult criminal courts or to other major diversionary systems, even as study after study shows that incarcerating youths in adult facilities may lead to further victimization and exposure to more serious criminal careers. ( 1) Interestingly, scholars have noted that most chronic juvenile offenders start their delinquent careers before the age of 12, (2) that murder rates for American teens are six times higher in the United States than in Canada, (3) and that females are more likely than males to be murdered by a friendly associate. ( 4) Still, according to the America's Children report, (5) violent crime offending rates for young people between the ages of 12 and 17 have decreased by 67 percent since 1993. Indeed, Howard Snyder (6) aptly used data from the FBI's Uniform Crime Report and found that adolescents arrested in 2000 constituted only about 12 percent of all arrests for violent crimes that were cleared by the police. More specifically, in 2000, they accounted for 5 percent of those arrested for homicide, 12 percent for forcible rapes, 12 percent for aggravated assaults and 12 percent for robberies. In effect, the percentage of juveniles arrested in 2000 was the lowest since 1988, and that trend has continued into the 21st century."

"title": "http://www.iep.utm.edu/justwest/\nWestern Theories of Justice",
"text": "Western Theories of Justice Justice is one of the most important moral and political concepts. The word comes from the Latin jus, meaning right or law. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the “just” person as one who typically “does what is morally right” and is disposed to “giving everyone his or her due,” offering the word “fair” as a synonym. But philosophers want to get beyond etymology and dictionary definitions to consider, for example, the nature of justice as both a moral virtue of character and a desirable quality of political society, as well as how it applies to ethical and social decision-making. This article will focus on Western philosophical conceptions of justice. These will be the greatest theories of ancient Greece (those of Plato and Aristotle) and of medieval Christianity ( Augustine and Aquinas ), two early modern ones ( Hobbes and Hume ), two from more recent modern times (Kant and Mill), and some contemporary ones (Rawls and several successors). Typically the article considers not only their theories of justice but also how philosophers apply their own theories to controversial social issues—for example, to civil disobedience, punishment, equal opportunity for women, slavery, war, property rights, and international relations. For Plato, justice is a virtue establishing rational order, with each part performing its appropriate role and not interfering with the proper functioning of other parts. Aristotle says justice consists in what is lawful and fair, with fairness involving equitable distributions and the correction of what is inequitable. For Augustine, the cardinal virtue of justice requires that we try to give all people their due; for Aquinas, justice is that rational mean between opposite sorts of injustice, involving proportional distributions and reciprocal transactions."

"text": "Peacemaking Criminology: Challenges and Possibilities Roger C. Barnes University of the Incarnate Word Introduction. “ Peacemaking criminology” emerged about 15 years ago, signaled by the publication of Harold Pepinsky and Richard Quinney’s edited reader titled Criminology as Peacemaking (1991). Drawing on three peacemaking traditions (religious and humanistic, feminist, and critical traditions), the general argument presented by the Pepinsky and Quinney writers is that the whole of the American criminal justice system is predicated on the continuance of violence and oppression (as seen in the prison system), war (as seen in the “war on crime” and the “war on drugs”), and the failure to account for how the larger social system contributes to the problem of crime (as seen in the failure to reduce poverty in society). Quinney (1991:3), a longtime critic of mainstream criminology, observes: Let us begin with a fundamental realization: No amount of thinking and no amount of public policy have brought us any closer to understanding and solving the problem of crime. The more we have reacted to crime, the farther we have removed ourselves from any understanding and any reduction of the problem. In recent years, we have floundered desperately in reformulating the law, punishing the offender, and quantifying our knowledge. Yet this country remains one of the most crime-ridden nations. In spite of all its wealth, economic development, and scientific advances, this country has one of the worst crime records in the world. In the main, peacemaking criminology contends that crime is connected to suffering and that to end crime, we must end suffering. This means that poverty, racism, sexism, alienation, abuse within families, harassment, and all other forms of suffering must be dealt with if crime is to be reduced."

"text": "\"by Richard C. Dieter, Esq. Executive Director, Death Penalty Information Center October 1992 - Revised, Fall 1994TABLE OF CONTENTSExecutive Summary Introduction Financial Costs of the Death Penalty Political Manipulation of the Death Penalty Conclusion Epilogue EXECUTIVE SUMMARYAcross the country, police are being laid off, prisoners are being released early, the courts are clogged, and crime continues to rise. The economic recession has caused cutbacks in the backbone of the criminal justice system. In Florida, the budget crisis resulted in the early release of 3,000 prisoners. In Texas, prisoners are serving only 20% of their time and rearrests are common. Georgia is laying off 900 correctional personnel and New Jersey has had to dismiss 500 police officers. Yet these same states, and many others like them, are pouring millions of dollars into the death penalty with no resultant reduction in crime. The exorbitant costs of capital punishment are actually making America less safe because badly needed financial and legal resources are being diverted from effective crime fighting strategies. Before the Los Angeles riots, for example, California had little money for innovations like community policing, but was managing to spend an extra $90 million per year on capital punishment. Texas, with over 300 people on death row, is spending an estimated $2.3 million per case, but its murder rate remains one of the highest in the country."

"text": "\"Pure sociology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Like rational choice theory, conflict theory, or functionalism, pure sociology is a sociological paradigm — a strategy for explaining human behavior. Developed by Donald Black as an alternative to individualistic and social-psychological theories, pure sociology was initially used to explain variation in legal behavior. [ 1] Since then, Black and other pure sociologists have used the strategy to explain terrorism, [2] genocide, [3] lynching, [4] and other forms of conflict management [5] as well as science, [6] art, [7] and religion. [ 8]Contents [ hide ]1 Epistemology2 Differences3 Explanations4 Practitioners5 Criticism6 Response to criticism7 References8 Further reading Epistemology [ edit]Pure sociology explains social life with its social geometry. [ 9] Social life refers to any instance of human behavior—such as law, suicide, gossip, or art — while the social geometry of a behavior, also called its social structure, refers to the social characteristics of those involved—such as their degree of past interaction or their level of wealth. To some extent this approach draws from aspects of earlier sociological work, ranging from Durkheim's emphasis on social explanations for individual behavior to later work in the variation of police (and other legal) behavior. Differences [ edit]Virtually all sociology explains the behavior of people—whether groups or individuals—with some reference to their mental constructs ( psychology) or the purposes of their action ( teleology ). But pure sociology reconceptualizes human behavior as social life—something that does not exist in the mind, is not explainable by the aims of actions, and is supraindividual. Pure sociology, then, can be distinguished from other sociological paradigms by what is absent from it: psychology, teleology, and even people as such. Pure sociology's focus on a unique social reality may sound Durkheimian, but Black views the approach as \"\"more Durkheimian than Durkheim.\"\" ["

Beccaria’s ideas about legal and penal reforms, which influenced intellectuals and statesmen throughout Europe and in North America, inspired many significant reforms in the last decades of the eighteenth century and the first decades of the nineteenth century. Beccaria influenced the British philosopher Jeremy Bentham who, along with Beccaria, produced the foundational ideas of the classical school of criminology. Many of the reforms that Beccaria advocated remain aspirations for contemporary systems of legal justice, including punishment proportionate to the severity of the crime and the development of a system of published laws and legal procedures applied equally to all without interference by the particular interests of rulers, judges, or clerics and without providing favorable treatment to individuals of higher social, political, or economic status. Intellectual Foundations Beccaria was the first reformer systematically to apply to law the intellectual principles and political ideals of the Enlightenment. His work on the law applied two concepts developed by other Enlightenment thinkers: first, a social contract political theory, according to which political authority is legitimate because it was consented to by individuals within a society who joined together for mutual benefit and, second, a utilitarian theory of ethics, according to which the rightness or wrongness of actions depends on the extent to which those actions lead to individuals’ happiness or unhappiness. Like other Enlightenment thinkers, Beccaria expressed a fundamental faith in the power of rationality; to a large extent, his reforms are based on the thought that human beings are rational creatures who can collaborate in peace to their own mutual benefit. When he applied them together, Beccaria’s utilitarianism, his social contractarianism, and his optimism about human rationality led him to argue that, because society exists for the sake of its members’ mutual benefit, social institutions should be arranged rationally to serve that end while, first, respecting and protecting individuals’ rights to enjoy those benefits and, second, supporting and enforcing individuals’ obligations to cooperate peaceably with each other to fulfill each other’s needs for security and prosperity. Beccaria used this understanding of society to critique legal institution, traditions, and practices he believed failed to respect the rights of individuals, that enforced obligations and imposed punishments in an unfair manner, and that were mired in irrational violence. He also rejected the administration of justice he judged to be systematically corrupted by authorities who lacked legitimacy under the lights of social contract theory, who acted immorally according to the judgments of utilitarianism, and whose behavior failed to live up to Beccaria’s ideals for rational human cooperation."

Public utilities, represented by the Dow Jones Utility Average (DJUA), are no longer sound investments for the defensive investor today. Great variations are found among the 15 DJUA components, allowing an enterprising investor to select stocks higher in both quality and quantity than the average. In a previous article, we revisited Benjamin Graham's stock selection criteria, applied them to the thirty issues in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and found the DJIA unsatisfactory, mostly failing the valuation criteria. Below are Graham's 7 stock selection criteria for the defensive investor: Quality1. Adequate Size of the Enterprise. Graham suggested at least $100 million of annual sales for an industrial company, and at least $50 million of assets for a public utility. These 1973 figures can be adjusted for inflation to roughly $500 million of annual sales and $250 million of assets today (2014). Market capitalization, used by many as a proxy for size, confuses market valuation with business fundamentals. While the two are very much correlated, they may widely diverge at times, and paying exorbitant price for a small business is the exact opposite of defensive investing.2."

The Dow and the Market In the United States there are three major indicators, or indexes, of market movements: the Nasdaq Composite, Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA or \"\"the Dow\"\") and the Standard & Poor's 500. Collectively, these market indexes are referred to as the Security Market Indicator Series (SMIS). They provide a basic signal of how specific markets perform during the day. Of these three, the DJIA is the most widely publicized and discussed. Fortunately for us, it is also the easiest to calculate and explain. History of the DJIADow Jones & Co. was founded in 1882 by Charles Dow, Edward Jones and Charles Bergstresser.

Stock index futures are contracts for the delivery of cash equal to the value of a specific stock index, such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA) or the S&P 500. Dow futures are for the delivery of the value of a specific multiple of the DJIA. Function Dow futures contracts are traded on the futures exchanges. A trader can elect to open a trade by buying contracts or open with sold contracts. Traders who buy expect the DJIA to increase in value, and their futures positions will be profitable if the index rises. Traders who sell contracts expect the DJIA to fall in value."

"text": "We saw in the last section that once a company completes an initial public offering (IPO), its shares become public and can be traded on a stock market. Stock markets are venues where buyers and sellers of shares meet and decide on a price to trade. Some exchanges are physical locations where transactions are carried out on a trading floor, but increasingly the stock exchanges are virtual, composed of networks of computers where trades are made and recorded electronically. Stock markets are secondary markets, where existing owners of shares can transact with potential buyers. It is important to understand that the corporations listed on stock markets do not buy and sell their own shares on a regular basis (companies may engage in stock buybacks or issue new shares, but these are not day-to-day operations and often occur outside of the framework of an exchange). So when you buy a share of stock on the stock market, you are not buying it from the company, you are buying it from some other existing shareholder. Likewise, when you sell your shares, you do not sell them back to the company – rather you sell them to some other investor. The first stock markets appeared in Europe in the 16 th and 17 th centuries, mainly in port cities or trading hubs such as Antwerp, Amsterdam, and London. These early stock exchanges, however, were more akin to bond exchanges as the small number of companies did not issue equity. In fact, most early corporations were considered semi-public organizations since they had to be chartered by their government in order to conduct business."

The DJIA is a benchmark group of stocks (a “market index”) that’s maintained and reviewed by editors of The Wall Street Journal .

( Click here for the full list of Dow Jones stocks. ) The numerical value of the DJIA — the number you see on the stock charts — is just the price-weighted average of these companies’ stock prices. The calculation uses the “Dow divisor,” a numerical value that’s constantly modified to adjust for things like stock splits and dividends. What is the DJIA used for? Along with the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ, the DJIA is one of the oldest and most widely used market indexes in the world. Investors use it to get a sense of how the overall market is performing and how their personal portfolio is faring in comparison — AKA whether or not it’s “beating the market."

Big companies such as Exxon Mobil and Microsoft, along with 28 others make up the Dow Jones Industrial Index. This average is calculated by adding up the price of all 30 Dow stocks and dividing this number by a divisor, which is known as is the Dow divisor. The Dow is the most commonly quoted “market” and is what most people are discussing when referring to the stock market. A $1.00 move in one of the Dow stocks will move the average about 7 ½ points in the same direction. NASDAQ stands for National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation.

What is the 'Standard & Poor's 500 Index - S&P 500'The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ( S&P 500) is an index of 505 stocks issued by 500 large companies with market capitalizations of at least $6.1 billion. It is seen as a leading indicator of U. S. equities and a reflection of the performance of the large-cap universe. The S&P 500 is a market value -weighted index and one of the common benchmarks for the U. S. stock market; other S&P indexes include one of small-cap companies with market capitalizations between $450 million and $2.1 billion and another made up of mid-cap companies with market capitalizations between $1.6 billion and $6.8 billion. Investment products based on the S&P 500 include index funds and exchange-traded funds. The SPDR S&P 500 ( SPY) is the largest ETF in the world with net assets of $252 billion. Next Up Standard & Poor's - S&PWeighted Average Market Capitalization S&P Phenomenon Portfolio Weight BREAKING DOWN 'Standard & Poor's 500 Index - S&P 500'The S&P 500 is widely regarded as the most accurate gauge of the performance of large-cap American equities. While the S&P 500 focuses on the large-cap sector of the market, it is considered representative of the entire market because it includes a significant portion of the total value of the market. The companies included in the S&P 500 are selected by the S&P Index Committee, a team of analysts and economists at Standard & Poor's. These experts consider various factors when determining the stocks that are included in the index, including market size, liquidity and industry grouping. The five companies with the highest weights in the S&P 500 are Apple Inc. ( AAPL ), Alphabet ( GOOG ), Microsoft Corp. ( MSFT ), Amazon.com Inc. ( AMZN) and Facebook Inc. ( FB ), and the five companies with the lowest weight in the index are Envision Holdings ( EVHC ), Navient cp ( NAVI ), Patterson Companies ( PDCO ), Footlocker Inc. ( FL) and Chesapeake Energy Corp.

"text": "\"A: Dow Jones, or more precisely, Dow Jones & Company, is one of the largest business and financial news companies in the world. While the Dow Jones Industrial Average tracks publicly owned corporations, Dow Jones & Company is not a public company itself. The firm was founded in 1896 by Charles Dow, Edward T. Jones and Charles Bergstresser. In 1889, they founded The Wall Street Journal, which remains one of the most influential financial publications. Dow was known for his ability to ethically explain complicated financial news to the public. He believed that investors needed a simple benchmark to indicate whether the stock market was on the rise or the decline. Dow chose several industrial-based stocks for the first index, and the first reported average was 40.94. Dow Jones Industrial Average It is easy to confuse Dow Jones with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). Often referred to as \"\"the Dow\"\", the DJIA is one of the most watched stock indexes in the world, containing companies like General Electric, Microsoft, Coca-Cola and Exxon. Dow Jones (the company) owns the Dow Jones Industrial Average, as well as many other indexes that represent different sectors of the economy, including the oldest index, the Dow Jones Transportation Average, which tracks 20 transportation companies, including airlines and delivery services."

Typically, performers take acting classes or study theater in school. Beginning actors often work in non-union background and principal roles in the early stages of their careers, as they get experience and build up a resume. SAG-AFTRA's interaction with performers begins after they have achieved professional status and are ready to join the Union. Because of the nature of film and television casting, our members--like all performers--must take their own steps towards getting agents, auditions and roles. We do everything possible to create an environment in which our members will be hired, and we look after their welfare once they are hired. The main goal of SAG-AFTRA is to provide competitive wages and safe, excellent working conditions for our members. While we are not in a position to provide individual guidance to those who are getting into this business, we certainly invite you to explore our website to learn more about the history of the Union and the business of acting.

"text": "News A Developer's Dream: Midscale Hotels Robyn Taylor Parets | Nov 01, 2005Abuilding boom is under way in the limited-service hotel sector, also known as midscale without food or beverage. Approximately 25,800 rooms are under construction — and another 17,898 rooms are in the planning stages. Despite the growing supply of midscale rooms — 661,895 as of September 2005 — the final chapter has yet to be written. Oil prices, a potential shortage of building materials resulting from a record hurricane season and consumer confidence could waylay projects in the construction pipeline. So, what's the main attraction? For starters, midscale hotels are less costly to build, yet typically reap higher returns than their full-service hotel cousins. According to Smith Travel Research, the midscale sector encompasses 32 brands. The crowded playing field includes Hilton Hotels' Hampton Inn, Inter Continental's Holiday Inn Express, Marriott's Fairfield Inn, La Quinta, and Choice Hotel's Comfort Inn. With so many brands to choose from, developers gravitate toward the chains that offer strong consumer appeal. This is partly why Holiday Inn Express and Hampton Inn stand out as the fastest growing brands in this segment, say industry experts."

The main newspaper of South Hampton Roads, The Virginian-Pilot, ran a contest to determine the team name. Although the chosen name was \"\"Mariners\"\", the Pilot ′s editor overruled the contest, deciding he liked the alliteration of \"\"Tidewater Tides. \"\" The Tides spent their first year as an \"\"independent\"\" team with no direct major-league affiliation, but became a St. Louis Cardinals affiliate the following season. However, the South Atlantic League decided to pull out of Virginia in 1963, threatening the future of minor-league baseball in the Hampton Roads area. A local group was able to convince the Carolina League to expand by two teams, one of them being the Tides."

Weinstein Founder and CEO of Generation Tax Please note that the tax bill signed into law on December 22, 2017 does not affect the deductibility of qualified MBA expenses for the 2017 tax year. You can still claim the deduction for MBA expenses on your 2017 tax return if you meet the criteria outlined below. Deductible Requirements: Section 162 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code states: “There shall be allowed as a deduction all the ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business”. Deducting education expenses falls under Section 1.162-5 of the IRC and can provide you with significant tax savings if you qualify. First, the education must be related to a trade or business which you are “carrying on.” Secondly, the education must not be a minimum educational requirement for qualification in your trade or business, nor can it qualify you for a new trade or business. Finally, the education must maintain or improve skills needed in your profession. The Gray Areas: Concern 1: Am I “carrying on” (required answer: yes)? Attending graduate school full time generally precludes being actively involved in a trade or business. However, this is not, in and of itself, fatal."

"text": "News A Developer's Dream: Midscale Hotels Robyn Taylor Parets | Nov 01, 2005Abuilding boom is under way in the limited-service hotel sector, also known as midscale without food or beverage. Approximately 25,800 rooms are under construction — and another 17,898 rooms are in the planning stages. Despite the growing supply of midscale rooms — 661,895 as of September 2005 — the final chapter has yet to be written. Oil prices, a potential shortage of building materials resulting from a record hurricane season and consumer confidence could waylay projects in the construction pipeline. So, what's the main attraction? For starters, midscale hotels are less costly to build, yet typically reap higher returns than their full-service hotel cousins. According to Smith Travel Research, the midscale sector encompasses 32 brands. The crowded playing field includes Hilton Hotels' Hampton Inn, Inter Continental's Holiday Inn Express, Marriott's Fairfield Inn, La Quinta, and Choice Hotel's Comfort Inn. With so many brands to choose from, developers gravitate toward the chains that offer strong consumer appeal. This is partly why Holiday Inn Express and Hampton Inn stand out as the fastest growing brands in this segment, say industry experts."

"text": "Strategic and Long Range Planning I. Introduction Even with a good measure of hard work, dedication, and commitment, the management of any sizable enterprise requires planning and creativity. This point is even more evident in a franchise system due to the intricacies, importance, and sensitivity of the relationship between the franchisor and franchisee. Management is responsible for the successful operation of the system. Management is responsible for anticipating events, recognizing opportunities, organizing activities, directing the course, and controlling a variety of factors – ensuring that they function effectively and cohesively. A well-developed Strategic Plan can be essential to achieving those aims. Developing a Strategic Plan is no guarantee of success, nor can it assure the avoidance of failure. But failure is often caused by management’s inability to anticipate simple factors, or to take advantage of opportunities that could have been foreseen. Through the process of formulating a plan, issues and assumptions can be exposed to detailed formal scrutiny, early enough to make effective management possible. But, possessing a plan is inadequate for effective management when the planning process is viewed simply as an exercise and the document is not utilized as a tool for managing the business. Strategic plans can also be an essential tool in working with outsiders, including your bankers, investors, suppliers, and franchisees."

"text": "\"�2016 Florida Citrus Pest Management Guide: Ch. 10 Rust Mites, Spider Mites, and Other Phytophagous Mites 1M. E. Rogers and P. A. Stansly 2There are four families of phytophagous mites that are of economic importance and include: two citrus rust mite species in the 1) family Eriophyidae: pink citrus rust mite Aculops pelekassi and the citrus rust mite Phyllocoptruta oleivora, three species of spider mites in the 2) family Tetranychidae: Texas citrus mite Eutetranychus banksi, citrus red mite Panonychus citri and the six-spotted mite Eotetranychus sexmaculatus, one species in the 3) family Tarsonemidae: broad mite Polyphagotarsonemus latus and three species of false spider mites in the 4) family Tenuipalpidae: Brevipalpus californicus, B. obovatus, and B. phoenicis. These three species are not currently considered economic pests on citrus. However, B. phoenicis is known to be a vector of citrus leprosis. This serious virus disease no longer occurs in Florida but increasing risk of re-establishment in Florida exists with its recent spread in Latin America. Citrus Rust Mites The citrus rust mite (CRM) and the pink citrus rust mite (PCRM) are found on all citrus varieties throughout Florida. Although they can co-exist on the same leaf or fruit, the CRM is usually the prevalent species. However, the PCRM develops to greater damaging populations early in the season (April–May). Both rust mites are important pests of fruit grown for the fresh market. On some specialty varieties (such as Sunburst tangerine), damage may be particularly severe on stems and foliage, causing leaf injury and possible abscission."

In one of our projects, we were required to implement an integration solution to connect a SAP system with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4. There are many ways to achieve such integration but we finally made the decision to use Scribe for several reasons among which is the fact that Scribe Insight provides the interfaces and full control for the client to carry on supporting their own system once we complete the integration. Scribe provides a native business application adapter for Microsoft Dynamics CRM as well as standard connectivity adapters for Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), SQL Server, OLE DB, Web Services and XML. Hence, whatever your SAP setup is, you should be able to access it smoothly from within Scribe. Scribe’s CRM adapter also offers a great feature which is the possibility to access partner hosted CRM 4 implementation even in the case of a shared CRM implementation where each CRM organisation on the same server belongs to a different client of the partner host. To connect to a hosted CRM you should use the Web Form (IFD) authentication option in the CRM adapter connection option. You can input details in the login similar to the example below: Figure: Connecting Scribe to remote CRM hosted server In our project, we had SAP as the data source and Dynamics CRM as the target of the integration. Configuring the source fields is very important for the mapping process between source and target fields later. You can always edit the source field names, data type and lengths by editing the QETEXT."

It allows both divisions to effectively communicate with each other with no downtime waiting for a call or email back. For onboarding, payroll and human resource related questions it was very easy to navigate and see where someone left off if an issue needed to be escalated. Very easy tool for tracking, potential and current clients as well as candidates. Pros and Cons Management Reports Recruitment Reports Sales Reports Forecasting Reports If there is a chain of commands that need signatures, it would be nice to be able to push the document through instead of a hard copy. Sometimes the drop-down functions don't match exact scenarios, it would be nice to be able to edit OTHER with an explanation. It would be nice to connect the Recruitment side, to match when a candidate is added to the database by another recruiter but is actually a skill match for a requirement that you have been assigned to as the primary recruiter. Being able to assign who is the Primary Recruiter, especially if working on a team of Recruiters Likelihood to Recommend I believe Bullhorn would be a strong benefit to add to any organization."

It has been shown that a team-based approach adds value to the learning culture throughout health systems by preventing medical errors ( IOM, 1999) and improving patient-centered outcomes and chronic disease management ( Bodenheimer et al., 2002; Ponte et al., 2003; Wagner et al., 2001 ). Team-based care is one of the guiding principles of a learning health system. It stresses interdependence, efficient care coordination, and a culture that encourages parity among all team members ( IOM, 2001, 2007 ). Teamwork should be reinforced at all levels, from leadership to the unit level, and individual patients should understand that they are working with a team. Team-based care has yet to proliferate widely, yet numerous excellent team-based programs around the United States demonstrate their added value in generating superb patient-centered health outcomes and science-driven care."

This belief often stems from certain experiences in the 80s or 90s when company data was stored in large, clunky corporate servers and CRM software was complex and prone to error. To them, it may come as a surprise to learn that CRM software is still around. In fact, not only is it around, but the industry and its products are doing better than ever. The CRM market is valued at over $37 billion and it’s expanded by over 12% every year since 2011. Among modern business software, CRM software is one of the best enablers for companies to meet modern customers’ expectations consistently, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

Regarding our 2017 sales predictions, here’s a quick reflection: What we were RIGHT about: Powerful partnerships and mergers e.g. Salesforce & Google Spike in acquisition purchasing power – validated via Tomasz Tunguz Powerful buyer influence of software review sites like G2Crowd & Capterra. The continued increase of content noise = more difficult to stand out. The evolution of Sales & Marketing into Revenue Ops & Customer Ops. Yo Y Increase in CAC leading to increased reliance on channel partnerships. What we’re still UNSURE about: How will enterprise giants like Microsoft react to partnerships like Salesforce & Google? Impact of net neutrality – will likely affect content publishers in a big way. Unification of the tech stack – this is getting harder to do, how will it happen? Acquisition speculation – are there more possibilities that could impact Saa S in 2018?"

Business and field level security rules are good, but they only go so far when it comes to practicality and implementation of multiple scenarios occurring simultaneously. What if we only want to show a tab if the user is one of two predefined security roles? What if we only want to hide the section for one type of role? What if we want both? Normally, to achieve these kind of outcomes, the process becomes convoluted, difficult to manage, and time consuming when adjustments are required. This is where the use of Java Script and the XRMService Toolkit comes in handy. Using the Xrm Service Toolkit As stated on their website, in case you didn’t know…The Xrm Service Toolkit is a Java Script library which can be used for Java Script Development under the platform for Microsoft Dynamics CRM environment.

"text": "\"0Due to an overreliance on scheduling tools, many project managers have unconsciously begun acting as if they can be on the job 24 hours a day. But are these PMs overcommitted or overallocated to their projects? The difference is in the definition: An individual can theoretically be overallocated to many projects; an individual can be overcommitted only to a specific body of work. The reason for this distinction is that overcommitment and overallocation really are two separate problems. If an individual is assigned a task and the work on that task turns out to be twice the effort originally estimated—and the project duration isn’t moved out—the individual is overcommitted. If a person is allocated to multiple projects, then it’s an issue of overallocation. I believe that problems arise because of a failure to admit that a single person can’t be in two places at the same time. Here's how to avoid falling into the resource allocation trap. Project silos Let's look at the Xavier Toothbrush Company as an illustration. At Xavier, project managers keep their own project plans on their local drive, and a shared resource pool isn’t used."

From the first handshake to the last purchase order, companies can now recall everything about their interactions with customers, stored into perpetuity. The strategy, systems and processes that enable this are generally called customer relationship management. The software solutions that enable it have earned the name customer relationship management software, or CRM software. This guide will help you understand what CRM is today, how it evolved, and what is important to look for when considering one for your business. Defining Customer Relationship Management Customer Relationship Management (CRM) helps businesses enter, analyze, and track customer information. CRM systems also provide a methodology for storing, measuring, and managing customer interactions. Many different types of CRM tools, applications, and third–party apps compete for market share, all designed to help businesses generate sales and maintain relationships with customers. These solutions also help other departments, like marketing, finance, operations, customer support, project management, and even executive teams to gain insight into customer behavior and do their jobs more effectively. They also enable companies to analyze customer data and ultimately measure business performance to determine where their strengths and weaknesses lie."

"text": "Marketing Tools: New Techniques for Customer Relationship Management (CRM)Posted by Jeff Adelson-Yan (@jeffadelsonyan)Customer relationship management (CRM) systems have evolved considerably and now include many different business aspects in one, like marketing, sales leads, tech support, and even employee conversation. Interestingly, there is one segment that most businesses have not capitalized on within CRMs yet – past due collections. Many companies wait until the customer is past due to start collection tactics. The latest trend is to integrate this new, “preventive” strategy to connect with customers and save time and revenue overall. The past or “reactive” business strategy separates customer care and accounts collection activities. Once a customer has missed payments, a new division of the business must work accordingly to receive payments, wasting time and money. This new “preventive” strategy works by discovering revenue recovery opportunities early in the payment cycle to effectively ensure happy customers and paid bills in one instance. Using advanced technology and billing analytics within a CRM database, it secures payment before the customer reaches the collection stage. An easy way to implement these changes is through your customer care reps. Called “universal agents”, these employees engage with customers and answer any questions, but then steer the conversation towards billing or collection issues."

To achieve such a goal, CRM software systems gauge management directives with insightful data analysis that demonstrates progress and results. Trends, statistics, and key performance indicators (KPI's) are the information that informs management whether they're achieving their goals, or they need to quickly implement course corrections. Most CRM systems today come with built in analytics and dashboards. However, with some applications the options are extremely limited while with others the choices are dizzying and confusing. Do you really need to see how many leads the Anchorage office gets each week? Or do you need to know that your customers are interested in a product that your company has decided to no longer support? You might. Or you might not. Determining the right performance metrics is a critical success factor and pre-cursor to leveraging KPIs."

Ferries for the island of Hvar ¦ Maps Sućuraj is located on the east cape of the island of Hvar (central Dalmatia, Croatia) and is a settlement on the island closest to the mainland. It is located 3 nautical miles (5 km) from the mainland and 77 km from the town of Hvar. The simplest way to come to Sućuraj (for those not already located on the island of Hvar) is by ferry from Drvenik on Makarska Riviera. The ferry takes 30 minutes; it leaves 6 times a day in winter and 10 or 11 times a day by summer timetable. If necessary, when it is very busy, which is often the case during the height of the season, the ferry leaves more frequently. The ferry dock in Sućuraj is located near the town centre. The departure timetable can be found here. Drvenik is located on the Adriatic tourist road, 96 km southeast from Split and 120 km northwest from Dubrovnik. If you are coming via Croatian's main highway A1 from Zagreb, Rijeka or Split, you should take the exit number 29 (Zagvozd) and then follow the traffic signs to Makarska."

"text": "\"Split is busy and big (it's Croatia's second largest city) but it remains one of the Adriatic's most vibrant port cities, stunningly located between mountains and sea. As the economic and cultural center of the Dalmatian coast, Split is bustling with islanders who flock into the city to work even as ferries whisk tourists out to the islands. Diocletian's Palace, a World Heritage Site, is the main attraction but there are so many things to see and to do, including day trips, world-class nightlife and restaurants that it's impossible to be bored. About Split It was the Romans who put Split on the map when Emperor Diocletian built his retirement palace here in the 4th century. Diocletian's Palace is more like a walled town and it has endured as the center of Split's cultural and political life even as the Byzantines, Croatian kings, Venetians, Austrians and Italians planted their flag on the great city. In addition to enclosing a welter of Roman ruins and medieval churches, the sprawling 4th century residence is also bursting with trendy shops, stylish bars, and brand-name boutiques. [ See more on Split history]Enter through the basement halls on the on the seaside and mount the massive steps to the heart of the Palace where you'll be impressed by Diocletian's mausoleum, now a towering cathedral. Just outside the Palace's southern walls is Split's seaside promenade, Riva, a prime people-watching spot. To the west and north of the Palace walls lies medieval Split and the Veli Varos nighbourhood which developed from the 14th to the 17th centuries. The narrow streets wind up to leafy Marjan hill and its sweeping views over the city. ["

Illyria was conquered in 168 BC, becoming a Roman protectorate. The area known as Dalmatia became Illyricum, a Roman province, though continued revolts in 6 and 9 AD led to the division of the region into Dalmatia and Pannonia. The region became enveloped into Roman culture, but the Western Roman Empire collapsed in 476. The Ostrogoths then controlled the region until the Byzantine Empire expanded to include Dalmatia. During the 6th and 7th centuries, the region was invaded by the Avar and Croats, who destroyed many of the Roman sites. With the arrival of the Croats came the division of the region into the Duchy of Pannonia and the Duchy of Dalmatia, which were overseen by Francia. The nation became the Kingdom of Croatia around 925 with its first king, Tomislav. The Hungarian ruler, Ladislaus I took control of the kingdom and war broke out between the two nations in 1102. The war ended with a union formed between the two kingdoms."

Here's what to do in Croatia Simon Calder@Simon Calder Tuesday 11 July 2017 08:09 BSTClick to follow The Independent Travel I'm going on holiday outside the eurozone this year - to Croatia. What is the best way to organise my holiday currency? Should I take euros to Dubrovnik? Advice about how best to organise your holiday money for Croatia is often conflicting and confusing, so I hope this helps. Even though Croatia is now part of the European Union, and is committed in time to joining the single currency, at present the currency remains the kuna (code HRK). I recommend that you use cash as much as possible, in order to be fully aware of the rate of exchange and not subject to bank fees - as you would do if you use a debit card, and most UK-issued credit cards. The first essential is not to get Croatian kuna in large quantities in the UK, unless you shop around and get a rate close to the spot rate."

Also, it is better to avoid the sun between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.. If you really have to leave the shade then use a hat and it is good to always wear sun protection.

Yet, Croatia still offers good value for money in comparison to other Mediterranean beach destinations especially if you avoid July and August when prices are at their highest.

Wander inland a little to less-travelled spots such as national parks and nature parks and you'll be surprised by how affordable prices are. See more tips to travel Croatia on a budget.

"text": "\"Croatia Croatia Tweet The Jewish community of Croatia dates back to at least the 3rd century AD, although little is known of the community until the 10th and 15th centuries. The community, over 20,000 strong on the eve of World War II, was almost entirely destroyed in the Holocaust. After the WWII half of the survivors choose to settle in Israel while some 2,500 live today in Croatia. That number is an estimate and it is believed that the number of Croatian Jews is larger because more than 80 percent of the 1,500 members of Zagreb's Jewish community were either born in mixed marriages or are married to a non-Jew. Many grandchildren of Holocaust survivors have just one Jewish grandparent. History of the community Ancient community Jews led by Kerri first arrived in what is now northern Croatia in the first centuries of the Common Era, when Roman law allowed free movement throughout the Roman Empire. The Jews arrived as traders and merchants. Archaeological excavations in Osijek show a synagogue dating from the 3rd century AD, and while there are occasional references to Jews, little is known of the Jewish communities of Croatia until the 13th century. The archaeological excavation in Solin (Salona, Roman capital of Dalmatia) show a Jewish graves from the 3rd century and the artefacts are stored in the Archaeological museum in Split. So we know that the emergence of the community in Split is from the Roman times - 3rd century."

"text": "The Croatian islands are clearly the crown jewels of the country's natural treasures. What could be better than spending a holiday hopping from island to island? The easiest way is to take a small-boat cruise but it is possible to island-hop in Croatia independently by using ferries, public transport or a car. Choosing this approach means planning your itinerary carefully. Car ferries that connect the coast and the islands run year-round (islanders need transport too!) but there are very few that connect islands. You may need to take a car ferry from an island to the coast and then board another car ferry to get to another island. From around mid-May to early October passenger ferries enter service and the islands are much better connected. Compare 783 companies Check the ferry schedules carefully!

The unit of currency in Croatia is the Croatian kuna, which was introduced to the newly independent country in 1994, replacing the Yugoslav dinar at a rate of 1 kuna for 1000 dinar. Kuna literally means 'marten', a throwback to earlier times when the currency of the region was animal skins and marten pelts were considered valuable. One kuna is sub-divided into 100 lipa (which means linden tree). Foreign Currency Exchange and Buying Kuna Planning a holiday to Croatia requires some currency management. Kuna can be purchased in foreign banks and at selected bureau de change prior to travel, but the exchange rates tend to be worse than those available on arrival in Croatia. Croatian banks dispense kuna to foreign cards from their cash machines, but a slightly better rate is sometimes obtainable by buying the currency over the counter with a card. Cash withdrawal per ATM transaction vary from bank to bank, but are in the region of 1,600 - 2,000 kuna. Dollars, Euro and Pound sterling are all widely accepted in the banks for cash exchange. Certain foreign currencies, such as UAE Dirhams, for example, cannot be exchanged."

The average daily temperature in September ranges from 16-19°C (61-67b F), with the highest still a lovely 24°C (about 75°F), and the lowest temperature is only around 13°C (about 56°F). Sunshine Hours The average daily sunlight is about 12:27 hours, and the length of day decreases over the course of the month by about 2.7 minutes a day. The longest day is September 1, with 13:09 hours of sunlight, and the shortest is September 30, with 11:46 hours of sunlight. Sea Temperature With the average sea temperature at around 23°C (about 73°F), it is still ideal beach weather. Light clothing such as t-shirts, shorts and sandals would be essential - although hats and sunscreen with a high SPF would be essential to avoid sunscreen and sunburn. Rainfall Do keep in mind that although the weather is still generally beautiful, the average daily rainfall increases a lot between August and September, to 101mm over 7 days. The average probability that some form of precipitation will be observed is 28-37%, increasing as the month progresses."

Jamestown Resources A Brief History of Jamestown By the dawn of the 17th century, despite several disastrous attempts, England still lacked a viable claim to some part of the New World. In 1606, James I tried once more to fruitfully impregnate the mythically rich, virgin land. He established 2 companies made up of merchant-adventurers eager to plumb the tantalizing riches of North America--these were the London Company and the Plymouth Company. The first to embark was the London Company, which sent forth three ships in December of 1606. James gave them three objectives: find gold, find a route to the South Seas, and find the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Adverse winds held their ship near England for 6 weeks, and seriously depleted their food reserves. Forty-five died on the voyage, but 101 men and 4 boys finally landed on a semi-island in May, 1607."

Credit: National Park Service Jamestown, founded in 1607, was the first successful permanent English settlement in what would become the United States. The settlement thrived for nearly 100 years as the capital of the Virginia colony; it was abandoned after the capital moved to Williamsburg in 1699. A preservationist group took over the site in the late 1800s, and today, it is part of a national historic park with tours, museums and ongoing archaeological digs that continue to reveal new findings. Colonization of the Americas Jamestown was not the first successful permanent European settlement in what would become the United States; that distinction belongs to St. Augustine, in Florida, which was founded by the Spanish in 1565. At the beginning of the 17th century, England was lagging behind other nations when it came to colonization in the Americas. Spain controlled a vast empire in the New World that included much of South and Central America, Mexico, part of the Caribbean and a settlement in Florida. The Spanish were also moving into what is considered the American Southwest. Also by this time, the French were exploring Canada's northeast and, in time, would establish a highly profitable fur trade in the region. In the 16th century, the English did attempt to found Roanoke colony, a venture that ended in disaster; the colonists disappeared and were never heard from again, Karen Ordahl Kupperman, a professor of history at New York University, said in her book \"\"The Jamestown Project\"\" (The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2007)."

"text": "\"Jamestown England was relatively slow to begin settlements in North America, which stood small in the shadow of the vast Spanish Empire. Several halting attempts were made during the 1500s, most notably those of Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Raleigh. No settlements resulted from those early ventures and widespread interest in colonization did not begin to build until after the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. The humiliation of Spanish power on the Atlantic brought a new confidence to English investors and adventurers. In 1606, King James I divided Virginia * between two groups of competing English merchants. Their charters proclaimed their intentions to spread Christianity, but in truth the primary motivation was the lure of gold and silver. The Virginia Company of Plymouth was granted rights to the northern part of Virginia between 38º and 45º north latitude. This group made a feeble attempt at a settlement on the Kennebec River in what would later become Maine, but the tiny colony lasted only a few months. The Virginia Company of London, however, was better prepared to act on its rights to those lands between 34º and 40º north latitude, the southern part of Virginia. The fact that the chartered areas overlapped one another placed a special premium on speed."

They expected the colonists to find marketable natural resources, develop industries or produce an agricultural product that would succeed in making money for the colony and its investors in England. After finding no precious metals and failing at such endeavors as glassmaking and silk production, John Rolfe finally succeeded by growing a sweet variety of tobacco which was all the rage in England. In other words, consumers were waiting! This meant land became a very important resource since a great deal of land was required to grow tobacco. Because growing tobacco also required a lot of hard work and labor, more people ( human resources) were needed to work in the fields. The more workers one had, the more tobacco they could grow and the greater the profit they could recognize. Indentured servitude met this need at first, but later slavery became entrenched as an institution in Virginia, because of the labor force it provided the colonists for tobacco production . It didn’t take the colonists long to realize that economic specialization would be the way to go, and tobacco became a cash crop for the colony."

After eating up poor corn crops harvested around Jamestown and cooked all beasts, including rats or snakes, the settlers had for food nothing more than boiled roots and herbs or a few fish caught in the river with bad equipment. Hunger, cold and disease made on average four dead a day. Famine was so frightful that some indulged in cannibalism. Corpses were disinterred to be eaten. A settler killed his own wife and salted her body for consumption. A dead girl was, as it seems, butchered to be eaten. Meanwhile, Indians laid siege to Jamestown, ready to shoot their arrows against all those who would dare to leave the fort. President George Percy had not hesitated to make execute those who had stolen foods in the storehouse but he was more helpless, trapped in Jamestown facing wrath and despair of cadaverous survivors.

At the time, Spain held a virtual monopoly on the lucrative tobacco trade. Most Spanish colonies in the New World were located in southern climates more favorable to tobacco growth than the English settlements, notably Jamestown. As the consumption of tobacco had increased, the balance of trade between England and Spain began to be seriously affected.

Although many settlers had a hand in keeping this colony going, two men in particular achieved fame due to their role; John Smith and John Rolfe. John Smith was an English soldier who was hired by the Virginia Company to help establish a trading post in North America. Although he had a reputation as a troublemaker and was nearly executed when he reached North America, he eventually became its leader in 1608 and instituted a “No Work, No Food” policy. The colony began to grow and expand under his strict leadership. During this time he also struck up a relationship with the daughter of a powerful chief, Powahatan. The young princess, who we know commonly as Pocohontas, reportedly saved Smith and the settlement twice, but whether this was romantic relationship or not is a question of much debate. Smith eventually returned to England after a gunpowder explosion in 1609. John Rolfe arrived with the third wave of settlers in 1610. Rolfe settled in an immediately went to work cultivating tobacco commercially, a crop which proved to be so lucrative it secured the future of the colony and led to further English settlement in the area."

"text": "Jamestown and the Indians: the First Decade Posted on May 4, 2011 by Ojibwa By the early 17th century, the British were becoming concerned about the inroads which the Catholic French and Spanish were making in North America. In 1606, the British monarch gave a Royal Charter to the Virginia Company to develop a market in the New World for English commerce and for “propagating of Christian Religion to such people, as yet live in darkness.” In this charter, Indians were characterized as living“in Darkness and miserable Ignorance of the true Knowledge and Worship of God. ”The Virginia Company was founded and directed by a group of merchants and gentry who were motivated in part by the promise of strong economic returns for their investment. In order to exploit the rumored riches of North America, the company planned to build a trading post. From here they would be able to acquire furs and other valuables from the Indians and to sell them manufactured goods and textiles. The English investors also envisioned a search for gold and silver as well as the development of industries, such as the production of naval stores and the manufacture of wooden shingles. The Virginia Company also sought the conversion of the heathen (that is, converting Indians to Protestant Christianity), the expansion of the English kingdom, increased revenues for the king, employment for the English vagrant poor, and a market for English manufactured goods. Having been granted a Royal Charter, the Virginia Company in 1607 sent three ships to transport 120 colonists into Chesapeake Bay and establish a colony at Jamestown. For the next decade they would be in conflict with the Native American nations in the area."

These individuals were to establish the first permanent English settlement in America. Soon after they landed, they began the construction of the fort that became the new settlement of Jamestown, named for the king of England, King James I. The next twelve years were a very harrowing time for these new settlers, and most would not survive.1 The settlers of Jamestown would be under semi-military rulers who would keep the settlers in line to keep them alive. In 1618, however, the Virginia Company decided that the colony was ready for self-rule. It set up the Virginia House of Burgesses in the Virginia colony, which became the first representative assembly in America. The House of Burgesses did not want to continue to be just a nominal governmental body, the Burgesses ultimately wanted to gain more power and govern Virginia for themselves.2 The Virginia Company failed, however, and King James I made Virginia a royal colony, leaving the House of Burgesses‟ ability to govern in doubt. Before the Virginia House of Burgesses, the colony generally used strong, military-like leaders to run the colony. John Smith was one of the early leaders who helped the colony to survive. He was a young man at the start of this great endeavor, and he took on the day-to-day management of the colony in 1608, putting men to work building houses to replace their tattered tents, “cabins worse than nought,” and preparing the grounds for crops.3 Smith was a tough 1 James P.

The settlement thrived for nearly 100 years as the capital of the Virginia colony; it was abandoned after the capital moved to Williamsburg in 1699.

Colonization of the Americas Jamestown was not the first successful permanent European settlement in what would become the United States; that distinction belongs to St. Augustine, in Florida, which was founded by the Spanish in 1565. At the beginning of the 17th century, England was lagging behind other nations when it came to colonization in the Americas. Spain controlled a vast empire in the New World that included much of South and Central America, Mexico, part of the Caribbean and a settlement in Florida. The Spanish were also moving into what is considered the American Southwest. Also by this time, the French were exploring Canada's northeast and, in time, would establish a highly profitable fur trade in the region. In the 16th century, the English did attempt to found Roanoke colony, a venture that ended in disaster; the colonists disappeared and were never heard from again, Karen Ordahl Kupperman, a professor of history at New York University, said in her book \"\"The Jamestown Project\"\" (The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2007)."

There were about 500 Jamestown residents at the beginning of the winter. However, there were only 60 people still alive when the spring arrived. [ 1]The colonists, the first group of whom had originally arrived at Jamestown on May 13, 1607, had never planned to grow all of their own food. Their plans depended upon trade with the local Powhatan to supply them with food between the arrivals of periodic supply ships from England. Lack of access to water and a relatively dry rain season crippled the agricultural production of the colonists. Also, the water that the colonists drank was brackish and potable for only half of the year. A fleet from England, damaged by a hurricane, arrived months behind schedule with new colonists, but without expected food supplies. On June 7, 1610, the survivors boarded ships, abandoned the colony site, and sailed towards the Chesapeake Bay, where another supply convoy with new supplies and headed by a newly appointed governor Francis West, intercepted them on the lower James River and returned them to Jamestown. Within a few years, the commercialization of tobacco by John Rolfe secured the settlement's long-term economic prosperity."

Biofuel production relies on energy crops grown in Europe, the U. S. and other places around the world. Alternative fuels are used to power vehicles and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Corn Corn is one of the best crops for the production of alternative fuels and ethanol, in particular. Ethanol releases less sulfur, nitrogen oxide, and carbon monoxide compared to other fuels. Corn kernels are used for production because they are cheaper. Sugarcane Brazil is the country that has invested heavily in biofuel production. Sugarcane is planted and processed to produce ethanol. The result is a low-carbon, inexpensive, and clean fuel. Additional benefits include reduced petroleum usage and dependence on fossil fuels, improved engine performance, and less greenhouse gas emissions."

This is why reforestation and protecting intact forests are such important parts of plans to address climate change. Conventional climate change science tells us that the planet’s capacity for reforestation is limited, however, by the need to preserve land for agriculture. But movements like agroforestry and permaculture show us that farming and trees are not mutually exclusive. From tree crops to contour strips of nitrogen fixing trees between bands of annual crops, there is a wealth of techniques that can give us the best of both worlds. These techniques, should a global effort get behind their implementation on a large scale, could have a major impact on climate change. They would also have numerous other benefits to the planet and its people. A century ago, writer-farmers like J. Russell Smith coined the term “permanent agriculture” to describe food forestry and other farming practices that combated a key issue of their day — erosion and degradation of farmland. From Smith and his compatriots we in permaculture have taken the name of our movement, though our movement has grown to encompass much more than food forestry. Today these visionary ideas are more essential than ever, to address an environmental crisis on a scale Smith and his contemporaries could not have imagined."

Cellulosic biomass, derived from non-food sources, such as trees and grasses, is also being developed as a feedstock for ethanol production.

That's why many people think the future lies with alternative fuels made from crops and waste products. Known as biofuels , these potentially offer many advantages over petroleum. They could help us tackle global warming and, by reducing our dependence on oil from the Middle East, they could help make the world a safer place. But biofuels have major drawbacks too.

Panicum virgatum, commonly known as switchgrass, is a perennial warm season bunchgrass native to North America, where it occurs naturally from 55°N latitude in Canada southwards into the United States and Mexico. Switchgrass is one of the dominant species of the central North American tallgrass prairie and can be found in remnant prairies, in native grass pastures, and naturalized along roadsides. It is used primarily for soil conservation, forage production, game cover, as an ornamental grass, in phytoremediation projects, fiber, electricity, heat production, for biosequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and more recently as a biomass crop for ethanol and butanol. Other common names for switchgrass include tall panic grass, Wobsqua grass, blackbent, tall prairiegrass, wild redtop, thatchgrass, and Virginia switchgrass.

Photo: Dennis Pennington. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a native warm-season grass that is a leading biomass crop in the United States. More than 70 years of experience with switchgrass as a hay and forage crop suggest switchgrass will be productive and sustainable on rain-fed marginal land east of the 100th meridian. Long-term plot trials and farm-scale studies in the Great Plains and plot trials in the Great Plains, Midwest, South, and Southeast indicate switchgrass is productive, protective of the environment, and profitable for the farmer. Weed control is essential during establishment but with good management is typically not required again. Although stands can be maintained indefinitely, stands are expected to last at least 10 years, after which time the stand will be renovated, and new, higher-yielding material will be seeded on the site. Fertility requirements are well understood in most regions, with about 12 to 14 pounds of N per acre required for each ton of expected yield if the crop is allowed to completely senesce before the annual harvest. Historically, breeding and genetics research has been conducted at a limited number of locations by USDA and university scientists, but the potential bioenergy market has promoted testing by public and private entities throughout the United States. Switchgrass is well suited to marginal cropland and is an energetically and economically feasible and sustainable biomass energy crop with currently available technology."

Kopp Share: Facebook Linked In Twitter Email DOWNLOAD Resources Article Replacing Oil: Alternative Fuels and Technologies Download citation Most experts look to alternative fuels and technologies as promising complements to petroleum in the near term and likely substitutes in the long term. Currently, 98 percent of the U. S. transport sector runs on petroleum. The reasons for this dominance are simple. Transportation fuels derived from petroleum pack a lot of energy in a small volume and weight. The internal combustion engine (ICE) found in practically every vehicle is compact, powerful, and well suited to transportation applications. And until recently, petroleum has been a bargain, at least in the United States. If alternative energy sources are to compete effectively with petroleum, they must be price competitive, perform well with existing ICE technology, or be packaged with a new motor entirely, probably an electric one. Special Section Oil Policy Strategies: Assessing the Tradeoffs The extent to which alternative fuels can reduce U. S. dependence on petroleum, lessen the impact on U. S. consumers of spikes in the world price of petroleum, and improve U. S. national security through reductions in imported petroleum depends on the scale of their penetration into the transport fuel market. Penetration in turn depends on the cost of delivered alternatives in relation to gasoline and diesel, the degree to which these alternatives are viewed as viable substitutes by consumers, the availability of vehicles designed to utilize the fuels, and the necessary fuel distribution infrastructure.

Department of Energy)Sugar: Historical Remarks In Brazil, sugar canes have been grown for 500 years, and such a country can be considered by far the world's biggest exporter of it. However, sugar to today's economy is not only used for its edible sub products, nowadays, it also forms a renewable-energy complex. Biofuels, which are mainly derived from sugar, are Brazil's most meaningful source of energy after oil. For a unit of energy, the production and use of sugar-based ethanol generates only two-fifths of the carbon emissions of petrol, and half those of corn-based ethanol, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Furthermore, bioplastics made from sugar cane are poised to move from the laboratory to the corner store, with the launch of soft-drink bottles. [ 1] Thus, one can understand the importance of sugar's ethanol - throughout Brazil's history. However, is that energy sustainable? That is, can Brazil actually have most of its energy generated by the extraction of ethanol from sugar canes?"

It is typically purchased by parties separate from a farm. The term is used to differentiate marketed crops from subsistence crops, which are those fed to the producer's own livestock or grown as food for the producer's family. In earlier times cash crops were usually only a small (but vital) part of a farm's total yield, while today, especially in developed countries, almost all crops are mainly grown for revenue. In the least developed countries, cash crops are usually crops which attract demand in more developed nations, and hence have some export value."

Full Answer Crops are the main source for food and clothing in the United States. Nearly everything comes from some type of plant and the farmers who plant and harvest these plants. Among the more traditional uses for crops, crops from corn are now being used to create an environmentally friendly biofuel. Corn, wheat, rice, hay, beans, potatoes and cotton are among the top crops that are grown in the U. S. Crops are generally grown in large fields that are managed by farmers and field hands."

Of these, the most commonly extracted and used one is Bioethanol or simply Ethanol and Biodiesel. It is blended with gasoline and can be used as an alternative fuel for your car. Plant based fuels comes form renewable source, can be grown anywhere and have lower carbon emissions as compared to fossil fuels. Biofuels not only help a struggling economy by providing jobs but also helps in reducing greenhouse gases up to much extent by emitting less pollution. As prices of crude oil are soaring day by day, most people are switching to biofuels to save money and reduce their dependance on oil. Biofuels are produced from wheat, corn, soyabeans and sugarcane which can be produced again and again on demand, so they are sustainable. Though biofuels have many advantages over their counterparts, but there are some other complicating aspects that we need to look at. We should increase our development of alternative fuels, taking advantage of renewable resources, like using corn and sugar to produce ethanol or soybeans to produce biodiesel. –"

Ear corn. Photo: F. John Hay, Extension Educator, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension. Contents Introduction Current Potential for Use as a Biofuel Biology and Adaptation Production and Agronomic information Potential Yields Production Challenges Estimated Production Costs Environment and Sustainablity Issues Introduction Corn ( Zea mays) is a popular feedstock for ethanol production in the United States due to its abundance and relative ease of conversion to ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Corn and other high-starch grains have been converted into ethanol for thousands of years, yet only in the past century has its use as fuel greatly expanded. Conversion includes grinding, cooking with enzymes, fermentation with yeast, and distillation to remove water. For fuel ethanol, two more steps are included: using a molecular sieve to remove the last of the water and denaturing to make the ethanol undrinkable. Current Potential for Use as a Biofuel Corn grain makes a good biofuel feedstock due to its starch content and its comparatively easy conversion to ethanol. Infrastructure to plant, harvest, and store corn in mass quantities benefits the corn ethanol industry. Unlike sugarcane, in which squeezed sugar water can be directly fermented, corn starch must be cooked with alpha and gluco-amylase enzymes to convert the starch to simple sugars."

By Gwynne Dyer, originally published by Gwynee Dyer / Energy Bulletin October 28, 2006We are still living off the proceeds of the Green Revolution, but that hit diminishing returns twenty years ago. Now we live in a finely balanced situation where world food supply just about meets demand, with no reserve to cover further population growth. But the population will grow anyway, and the world’s existing grain supply for human consumption is being eroded by three different factors: meat, heat and biofuels. For the sixth time in the past seven years, the human race will grow less food than it eats this year. We closed the gap by eating into food stocks accumulated in better times, but there is no doubt that the situation is getting serious. The world’s food stocks have shrunk by half since 1999, from a reserve big enough to feed the entire world for 116 days then to a predicted low of only 57 days by the end of this year. That is well below the official safety level, and there is no sign that the downward trend is going to reverse. If it doesn’t, then at some point not too far down the road we reach the point of absolute food shortages, and rationing by price kicks in. In other words, grain prices soar, and the poorest start to starve."

Our study provides an alternative point of view,\"\" Emily Cassidy, lead author of the study and environmental scientist at the University of Minnesota, United States, tells Sci Dev. Net. Researchers looked at the 41 crops that provide more than 90 per cent of world's calories.

We found that decreasing grain-fed meat consumption by 50 per cent would be enough additional calories for two more billion people,\"\" says Cassidy. Reducing meat consumption, or shifting it away from beef to poultry and pork, has the potential to feed more people per hectare of cropland because beef is not energy efficient, Cassidy adds. \"\""

The first colonists hoped to find gold in the New World and to get rich quickly. But the settlers had many problems during the first winters and hardly managed to survive. In 1620 a second group of colonists, the Pilgrims, left England on the Mayflower. They set up a colony at Plymouth, in today’s Massachusetts.

As a result, the Bering Sea was hundreds of meters below its current level, and a land bridge, known as Beringia, emerged between Asia and North America. At its peak, Beringia is thought to have been some 1,500 kilometers wide. A moist and treeless tundra, it was covered with grasses and plant life, attracting the large animals that early humans hunted for their survival. The first people to reach North America almost certainly did so without knowing they had crossed into a new continent. They would have been following game, as their ancestors had for thousands of years, along the Siberian coast and then across the land bridge. Once in Alaska, it would take these first North Americans thousands of years more to work their way through the openings in great glaciers south to what is now the United States. Evidence of early life in North America continues to be found. Little of it, however, can be reliably dated before 12,000 B. C.; a recent discovery of a hunting lookout in northern Alaska, for example, may date from almost that time. So too may the finely crafted spear points and items found near Clovis, New Mexico."

"text": "\"Douglas County is a predominantly rural county located in north central Washington. Waterville is the county seat. The county's proximity to Grand Coulee Dam just over the county line (spanning the Columbia River between Okanogan and Grant counties), as well as the four Columbia River dams within the county have over time provided work for thousands of Douglas County residents. The county comprises 1821 square miles, and ranks 17th in size among Washington's 39 counties. The Columbia River, either flowing through its channel or constricted in equalizing reservoirs behind dams, almost completely encircles Douglas County, which is bordered by Chelan County to the west, Okanogan County to the north, Grant County to the east/southeast, and a small part of Kittitas County to the south. As of June 2006 Douglas County had an estimated population of 35,700. East Wenatchee (population 11,420) and Bridgeport (population 2075) are the largest towns. Agriculture, especially apple, pear, and cherry orchards, and wheat, provides a significant percentage of the county's employment. Geology and First Peoples Like the terrain of the Big Bend counties that surround it, massive floods during the waning of the Ice Age in the wake of the retreating Vashon Glacier some 12,000 to 20,000 years ago shaped the land that is now Douglas County, forming deep canyons (coulees). Moses Coulee, a massive gorge that cuts north south through the southern part of Douglas County, is the one of Washington's most spectacular remaining coulees."

The federal government has been promoting ethanol for decades as a renewable, homegrown alternative to gasoline. In recent years, this alternative fuel has resonated with consumers who are concerned with America's dependence on foreign oil as well as pump-price volatility. But is Ethanol the answer? Michael Pacheco, a spokesman for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo., explains: \"\"The big challenge is that we are going to reach a peak in world oil production,\"\" he says. \"\" We need to start working toward replacement fuels 20 years before that peak. \"\" The near-term advantages of ethanol look promising to government scientists as we draw closer to that peak, because it can be produced in large quantities, and it requires fewer technological breakthroughs and less infrastructure development than is needed to support electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles. Yet university scientists for decades have raised questions about ethanol's viability as a fuel source for three reasons: They argue that it is unethical to produce fuel from a food crop, especially if it drives up food prices."

The Connecticut Colony was one of the four New England Colonies which also included the New Hampshire Colony, the Massachusetts Colony, and the Rhode Island Colony. The Connecticut Colony was founded in 1636 by a colonist named Thomas Hooker. The name Connecticut was derived from an Indian word meaning 'river whose water is driven by tides or winds'. The Connecticut Colony was an English colony until 1776 when it joined the rest of the colonies in the rebellion to gain independence from Great Britain. Interesting Connecticut Colony Facts: The Connecticut Colony was founded by Puritans and there was no tolerance for other religions. In 1614 a Dutchman named Adriaen Block became the first explorer of the Connecticut Valley. The first European settlement in the Connecticut Colony occurred in Windsor, and then in the Hartford and Wethersfield areas in 1633. The settlers were Dutch, having arrived from New Netherlands (present day New York). These settlements combined to form the Connecticut Colony in 1633, founded by Thomas Hooker."

The Pampas Of South America Have Played An Important Role in The Lives Of the People Inhabiting the Grassland Habitat.5. Description The Pampas are vast plains that range across central Argentina from the Atlantic coast to the foothills of the Andes. It is bounded by the Gran Chaco, the alluvial lowland, to the north and the Patagonia scrubland to the south. Though the Pampas have a gradual slope northwest to southeast, from 1,650 feet (500 meters) to 66 feet (20 meters) above sea level, most of the region appears flat. The Pampas is a distinctive geographical feature of South America and covers a staggering 295,000 miles (760,000 square km). It is divided into two zones: the western dry zone is largely barren with large saline fields, sandy deserts, and brackish streams. In the east is the humid sections of the Pampas, a much smaller area with water sources. It includes part of the Buenos Aires province, the economic center of Argentina and the country’s most populated area.4.

This removes the excess dead material. We'll have to see who has the best idea, but I don't think I'll see her using the chain saw. Maybe she can use an electric saw. \"\" Walter Reeves, a noted expert on most things gardening-related, says pampas grass should be pruned this time of year. Pampas grass, which can easily grow to a height of 8 feet in a single season, is an ornamental grass with long stalks that shoot up from clumps of leaves.

[ 2] [3] It is located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District in Peru, [4] above the Sacred Valley, which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco and through which the Urubamba River flows. Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was constructed as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often mistakenly referred to as the \"\"Lost City of the Incas\"\" (a title more accurately applied to Vilcabamba ), it is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. The Incas built the estate around 1450 but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was not known to the Spanish during the colonial period and remained unknown to the outside world until American historian Hiram Bingham brought it to international attention in 1911. Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its three primary structures are the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of how they originally appeared. ["

"text": "Home »Lawn How to Care for a Pampas Grass By M. H. Dyer; Updated September 21, 2017Native to Chile, Argentina and Brazil, Pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana) is a popular ornamental grass that will add a dramatic statement to any landscape, and is especially striking when planted in groups of three to five. Pampas grass works well when planted behind perennials, where the linear grass will provide contrast in color and form. When pampas grasses mature, they can reach heights up to 10 feet, and span 6 feet across. In summer, tall silvery plumes will grow above the grass, and will sway gracefully in the breeze. Plant Pampas grass where it will be exposed to a minimum of six hours of direct sunlight every day. Pampas grass can grow in poor soil as long as the soil isn't soggy. Plant Pampas grass away from houses, children's play areas and sidewalks, because the blades of the grass can be sharp. Give Pampas grass an inch of water per week in periods of no rain. Use a drip irrigation system, or allow a garden hose to drip at the base of the plant. Avoid fertilizing Pampas grass as too much fertilizer will cause the the Pampas grass to weaken."

Reprinted with permission from Mariners Museum, Newport News, VA www.mariner.org It was called the Age of Exploration. It was the era during which explorers threw open the doors to new lands and not only made exciting discoveries, but also helped develop a larger global economy. The people living on the continents of Africa, Asia, and Europe, known as the Old World, already had access to each other, but broadened their world when they introduced themselves to the Americas, bringing with them their cultures, plants, animals, and, unfortunately, disease. In turn, the New World sent its cultures, plants, animals, and disease back to the Old World. This was the Great Exchange. Early explorers such as Christopher Columbus set sail for Asia, hoping to bring back exotic spices, gold, and other goods to be sold at reasonable prices. Spices were valued because Europeans used them as flavoring for food, preservatives, and medicine. In fact, spices such as pepper and cloves made the long journey from Southeast Asia (modern day Indonesia) to India, then Arabia, and finally to Italy. As the journey progressed, as one trader followed the other, each increased the price of the spices as they moved westward until the price was so high in Europe, only royalty could afford to buy them."

Before archaeologists discovered this tiny corpse in 1985, the Atacama Desert sun had baked its exposed tomb for more than 500 years.

The Great Plains, in the United States and Canada, has some of the world's most valuable prairies, which grow some of the world’s most important crop s. The U. S. state s of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico, and the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan make up the Great Plains. The prairies in North America formed as the Rocky Mountains grew taller and taller."

Print edition | Briefing Feb 17th 2014 | BUENOS AIRESWHEN the residents of Buenos Aires want to change the pesos they do not trust into the dollars they do, they go to a cueva, or “cave”, an office that acts as a front for a thriving illegal exchange market. In one cueva near Florida Street, a pedestrian thoroughfare in the centre of the city, piles of pesos from previous transactions lie on a table. A courier is getting ready to carry the notes to safety-deposit boxes. This smallish cueva handles transactions worth $50,000-75,000 a day. Fear of inflation and of further depreciation of the peso, which fell by more than 20% in January, will keep demand for dollars high. Few other ways of making money are this good. “ Modern Argentina does not offer what you could call an institutional career,” says one cueva owner.

S. highway 60 and State highways 70, 152, and 273, in the northwestern part of the county. The site, once owned by the Francklyn Land and Cattle Company (later White Deer Land Company), was designated as a station on the Southern Kansas Railway in the summer of 1887. The first resident was Thomas H. Lane, the railroad section foreman, who settled his family in a half-dugout near the boxcar station, which was known initially as Glasgow and then as Sutton. Because of confusion with Sutton County, railroad officials asked George Tyng, manager of the White Deer Land Company, to select a new name for Sutton. After his first suggestions were rejected by the chief engineer, Tyng submitted the name Pampa because the place resembled the pampas of Argentina, which he had earlier visited. The post office opened in 1892 with Lane as postmaster. Tyng constructed Pampa's first frame building as the White Deer Land Company boardinghouse. This building later was leased to the Matador Ranch as a headquarters and then sold to Alfred Ace Holland, who made it the town's first hotel."

If not cut back each spring, though, it will look more like an overgrown haystack. Here are some tips: Q: When should I cut back my pampas grass clump? A: Cut it back to 12 inches tall in January or February. DO NOT burn it. Use a gloved hand to rake out all of the dead material in the center of the clump. Divide the clump into thirds every three years. Keep one piece in place and transplant the other two pieces to a different spot.

"text": "\"Tobacco and Staple Agriculturetobacco was grown in Tidewater, the Piedmont, and the Valley and Ridge province west of the Blue Ridge, but modern tobacco farming is concentrated in Southside Virginia More than any other crop or industry, tobacco shaped the development of Virginia. Virginia colonists saw the Native Americans growing tobacco, and the colonists quickly adopted tobacco as their primary mechanism of getting wealthy. Virginia operated under \"\"cash-crop\"\" agriculture (tobacco is grown for sale, not for use on the farm) since 1613. Tobacco provided more income than any other farm crop until the 21st Century. Tobacco plantations shaped the settlement of the Coastal Plain and the Piedmont. Until after World War I the state's economy was dependent upon the weather conditions for growing and harvesting tobacco, and upon the price paid for tobacco by customers outside Virginia. Staple agriculture puts all of a region's economic eggs in one basket, in contrast to a diversified economy. When prices for the staple crop are low, or supplies diminished by a bad growing season, the entire region can suffer heavily. In the first half of the 1800's, Southern states were dependent upon cotton (though South Carolina grew indigo and rice as staple crops as well). Conflicts with Northern industrialists regarding Federal incentives/disincentives for cotton production led in part to the Civil War, just as conflicts between colonial Virginia planters and English merchants regarding tobacco prices and credit terms created a significant amount of distrust that led to the American Revolution."

"text": "ANTICOLONIAL MOVEMENTS, AFRICAAnticolonial movements in Africa were responses to European imperialism on the continent in the late nineteenth century and the greater part of the twentieth century. African responses to colonial rule varied from place to place and over time. Several forms of both armed and nonviolent resistance to colonialism occurred. Nonviolent forms of anticolonialism included the use of the indigenous press, trade unionism, organized religion, associations, literary and art forms, and mass migrations. Various African states used one or several of these nonviolent forms of anticolonialism at one time or another, but what is significant is that most of them resorted to armed resistance or cataclysmic actions to safeguard their way of life and sovereignty. African resistance to colonial rule may be divided into four phases. The first was African responses to the colonial conquest itself. This occurred from about 1880 to 1910. The second phase spanned 1914 to 1939, the period of the consolidation of colonial rule. The third phase ran from the end of World War II (1939-1945) to the attainment of independence between the early 1950s and the 1980s."

"text": "\"The Varieties of Slave Labor Daniel C. Littlefield Carolina Professor of History University of South Carolina National Humanities Center Fellow ©National Humanities Center Slavery was work, often very hard work, sustained by force and the threat of humiliation and separation from family and community. Most commonly, Slave labor differed according to period and location. it was routinized and mind-numbing, a repetition of the same tasks or movements, changed only by the season of the year or time of day. This image gave rise to the expression “factories in the field,” evoking an early industrial model where workers were no more than cogs in a machine. Work on a sugar plantation. Yet plantation labor was not always and everywhere the same. Work on sugar plantations in the West Indies was not the same as that on rice plantations in South Carolina, which was different again from what enslaved laborers did on tobacco farms in the Chesapeake. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when slavery extended to the Middle Colonies and New England, work there was even more different, at least in the variety of tasks and the influence an enslaved person might exercise over his or her work (they could sometimes initiate a change of master), though in other ways, particularly in the element of compulsion, it was much the same. Moreover, labor in all these places changed over time and was dependent upon advances in mechanization, stages of plantation development, and changes in management outlooks. Everywhere circumstances diverged between those who merely did common labor and those who exercised skills."

But actually America was discovered many times. The first people to come to North America were Asians who crossed the Bering Strait and entered Alaska at least 30,000 years ago. Over many centuries, they and their descendants spread across the Americas. These original Americans developed many cultures in the thousands of years that they controlled the land. Europeans first came to North America around the year 1000. Vikings from northern Europe reached the eastern coast, but both disease and resistance from the native people drove them away. It is believed by many scientists and historians that some Vikings landed in the area where Massachusetts is located today.

This Dutch trading company had been a major power in Asian trade since the early 1600s, but started to develop an interest to interfere in indigenous politics on the island of Java in the 18th century as that would improve their hold on the local economy. However, mismanagement, corruption and fierce competition from the English East India Company resulted in the slow demise of the VOC towards the end of the 18th century. In 1796 the VOC went bankrupt and was nationalized by the Dutch state. As a consequence its possessions in the archipelago passed into the hands of the Dutch crown in 1800. However, when the French occupied Holland between 1806 and 1815 these possessions were transferred to the British. After Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo it was decided that most parts of the archipelago would return to the Dutch. Architects of the Dutch Colonial State in Indonesia Two names stand out as being architects of the new Dutch colonial state in Indonesia. Firstly, Herman Willem Daendels, Governor-General from 1808 to 1811 during the French occupation of Holland and, secondly, British Lieutenant Sir Stamford Raffles, Governor-General from 1811 to 1816 during the British occupation of Java. Daendels reorganized the central and regional colonial administration by dividing Java into districts (also known as residencies), each one headed by an European civil servant - called the resident - who was directly subordinate - and had to report - to the Governor-General in Batavia."

Early Migrants that first settled in America came across the Bering Straight and possibly even from Asia. Their population was diverse, scattered, but still self-sufficient. In the archaic period, the Natives supported themselves through hunting, gathering, and then later developed nets and hooks to fish. Even later, the natives began farming which required them to stay in one place, resulting in settlements. The ways the people of Europe & North America affected each other The Europeans & North Americans affected one another through cultural exchange. From the earliest contact with natives, Europeans learned about their rich deposits of gold and silver, which made them want to explore Americas even more. The first and most profound result of exchange was disease including: influenza, measles, chicken pox, mumps, and above all small pox. These led to a demographic catastrophe and caused the Indian's population to further decrease, not only from disease but due to the brutality of the conquistadores. The positive effects of exchange were the Europeans introducing sugar, livestock, and most importantly the horse which transformed the Indian society."

"text": "Farming in Colonial Times Farming in Colonial times was not just a job; it was a way of life. The whole family had chores to do. With some smaller plantations, 200 to 800 acres in size, it generally took about nine adults to keep the crops growing and harvested on time. The bigger plantations had armies of workers who labored from sun up to sun down. Significance Farming in Colonial times was different from farming today. Whether you were farming in New England in the 1500s, the middle colonies in the 1600s, or Southern colonies in the 1700s, there was a difference in what crops were grown. Obviously, this had much to do with the climate and type of soil. Colonial farming was a serious job and meant the difference between eating well or starving, especially in the winter months. Farming was not limited to working in the fields, where slaves often did the back-breaking work by hand. Cooking and cleaning was done by the mistress, children and house slaves, as well as mending of fences and tools used on the fields."

"text": "Dutch Warmblood WARMBLOODOVERVIEW The Dutch Warmblood is a cross between two indigenous Dutch breeds: the Gelderlander and the Groningen. Developed and promoted as one of Europe's greatest post war competition breeds, the Dutch Warmblood has indeed proven itself in competition. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION This horse was specifically developed as a competition level horse and, as such, is of excellent conformation. The focus of breeders has been to create an excellent riding horse with a good, sloping shoulder, strong quarters, and sound legs. The body is relatively compact, a result of its Thoroughbred influence, as is the head. The Dutch Warmblood stands at around 16 hands high. Breeders look to produce a horse of great action and even temperament. ORIGIN As stated above, the Dutch Warmblood is the result of crossing the Gelderlander with the Groningen and refining the horse with Thoroughbred. The Gelderlander gave the Dutch Warmblood its excellent forequarters, itself known as a strong carriage horse. The Groningen is a heavier horse primarily used for farm work but also used as a heavyweight riding horse."

"text": "A cold blooded horse is a horse which belongs to a breed known for having a stable, calm temperament. Most cold bloods are also very strong, rugged, durable animals, and they have been used as work horses and stable companions for centuries. Examples of cold blood breeds are quite varied, ranging from gentle giants like Clydesdales to intelligent, rugged Welsh ponies. There are numerous uses for cold blooded horses, and they can be found all over the world. The term “cold blood horse” is used to refer to a horse with specific traits and tendencies, rather than a specific breed of horse. The cold blooded type is also extremely diverse, with many people saying that the term refers essentially to any horse without oriental bloodlines, as oriental horses are considered “hot” because of their temperament. However, many horse fans also use a third category, the warmblood horse, to refer to sport horses which are neither cold blooded nor hot blooded. Warmbloods are also not merely crosses between hot blood horses and cold blood horses, contrary to popular belief. Ad As the name of the cold blood horse implies, one of the defining characteristics of a cold blood horse is a very calm temperament. A cold blooded horse is generally extremely mellow, difficult to spook, and very patient."

Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Characteristics3 Medical issues4 Uses5 References History [ edit]Prior to World War II, there were two types of utility horse in the Netherlands: Gelderlanders bred in the south under the Gelderlander Horse Studbook (1925) and the Groningen bred in the north under the NWP (1943). [ 2] The Groningen was, and still is, a heavy-set warmblood horse very similar to the Alt-Oldenburger and East Friesian. The Gelderlander was a more elegant variation, often serving as a carriage horse in addition to a useful draft horse. While the Groningen were almost unwaveringly solid black, brown, or dark bay, the Gelderlanders were more often chestnut with flashy white markings. These two registries merged to form the Royal Warmblood Horse Studbook of the Netherlands (KWPN). After the Second World War, the Gelderlander and Groninger were replaced by tractors and cars, and horses began to become a luxury rather than a necessity. As early as the 1950s, stallions like the French-bred L'Invasion and Holsteiner Normann were imported to encourage a change in the type of Dutch horses, followed soon after by the Holsteiner Amor and Hanoverian Eclatant."

It is a popular sport in countries like the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom and other countries in Europe. Horses are used in many different competitions. Within the sport, there are several types of riding, such as English and Western. In English riding, there are three Olympic events: cross country, dressage and show jumping (in which competitors ride horses over obstacles). There are no forms of Western riding in the Olympics.

Riders win by having the fastest time without mistakes. There are many types of horse jumps such as the vertical oxer (over two rails), and combinations (2 or 3 jumps put right after each other). Not every type of horse can jump well, just like not all horses are able to do well at horse racing or farm work."

Dies bedeutet, dass sie an Stuten mit hannoverschem Schenkelbrand oder an Stuten mit mindestens 50% hannoverscher Blutführung anzupaaren sind.' Translated: 'Non-hanoverian stallions are marked with a dot. This means the are to be mated with mares that are branded hanoverian or to mares who carry no less than 50% hanoverian lineage.' And a few pages later they explain it yet again a bit more specific: 'All approved stallions who don't carry the hanoverian brand are market with a dot. If you own a mare without hanoverian brand and want to mate her to a stallion who is not branded hanoverian you've got to pay attention to the following: According to §26 of the breeding guidelines of the Verband Hannoverscher Warmblutzüchter stallions who aren't branded Hanoverian (Trakehner, English Thoroughbred, Holsteiner, Oldenburger, Westfalian etc.) may only be bred to mares carrying the hanoverian brand. Mares and stallions with no less than 50% straight hanoverian lineage are treated equally as hanoverian branded mares and stallions. A foreign breeding that means for example a Holsteiner stallion bred to a Trakehner mare is therefor not possible. If this policy is ignored the resulting foal can only receive a certificate of birth."

The head should be long enough to allow for large nostrils, nasal passages and a good set of teeth. Heads will vary by breed with Thoroughbreds, Standbreds and Warmbloods known for having the longest and Quarter Horses and Arabians having shorter ones. The Coarse Headed Horse A coarse head is known as a \"\"heavy head\"\". It tells you that there is cold blood in the breeding and a lack of refinement. This type animal will not be quick or agile since the head acts as a counterbalance for the body during quick changes of direction or balance. Normally, a course head is seen on a shorter necked horse and on a heavy bodied horse more suitable for draft work than for a riding mount. The Too Large Headed Horse When the head is not is proportion the neck and body and is too large the horse will travel too heavily in the front.

But that doesn't mean it's the right halter. Just because your horse is wearing a halter when it comes home, doesn't mean it's wearing a halter that fits, or is even safe. You can easily get a halter that is too big, too small or is broken or worn in some way. And most of us like to make sure our horses are 'well dressed' so we want a halter that fits well and looks nice while being safe.

Research shows that only 50% of people who suffered heart attacks had high LDL levels. So, many doctors use another test called the C-reactive protein test to help figure out who’s at risk.

"text": "Inflammation and CRPInflammation is a normal bodily process that occurs in response to injury and infection. It is a part of the normal healing process and includes the migration of white blood cells to the site of injury and the secretion of a variety of chemicals by the immune system. Inflammation becomes a problem when it becomes chronic, however. Inflammation is thought to play a role in many chronic diseases including anything that ends in “itis” (such as arthritis, colitis, bursitis, and tendinitis) as well as other diseases such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes, and possibly some cancers. Typical symptoms of inflammation include redness, swelling, and pain, although some of these are less common in chronic inflammation. There are a variety of ways to determine if inflammation is occurring in the body. The two most commonly used tests are sedimentation rate (or ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP). Sedimentation rate is most commonly used to diagnose and monitor auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus that typically cause severe inflammation. CRP, on the other hand, is a very useful test for the lower levels of chronic inflammation that can promote heart disease and diabetes. In particular, the relationship between elevated CRP and heart disease (including heart attack) has been strongly established."

The protein is present during episodes of acute inflammation or infection. In the body, CRP interacts with the complement system, an immunologic defense mechanism. An elevated CRP test result is an indication of acute inflammation. In cases of inflammatory rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, doctors can utilize the CRP test to assess the effectiveness of a specific arthritis treatment and monitor periods of disease flare-up. Its value is as a general indicator, though, not specific. By \"\"not specific\"\", it is meant that the CRP test does not reveal what is causing inflammation in the body.

Methods The study included children and adolescents between 6 and 18 years of age with a body mass index (BMI) higher than 2 SDS. All the patients had their blood pressure taken and hs-CRP, hepatic function, lipid profile and uric acid were determined after 12 h of fasting. Likewise, an oral glucose tolerance test was performed, determining basal glucose and insulin levels, and after stimulus. We considered the presence of metabolic syndrome when the obese children and teenagers showed at least two of the following conditions: decreased high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension or alteration in glucose metabolism. Results Out of the 115 obese children studied, 24% showed signs of metabolic syndrome. Those with metabolic syndrome presented higher levels of hs-CRP (mean: 3.8 mg/l; 95% CI: 2.8–4.8) in comparison with the obese patients who did not show signs of metabolic syndrome (mean: 2 mg/l; 95% CI: 1.5–2.5)."

What is a C-Reactive Protein Blood Test? C-reactive protein, or CRP, is a protein produced by the liver that serves as a marker for inflammation. CRP levels rise when there is active inflammation somewhere in the body, but it doesn't indicate where or what's causing it. An elevated CRP level can come from an infection or a disease that causes inflammation such as certain types of arthritis, autoimmune diseases, tuberculosis, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, among others.

Other tests are needed to determine the cause and location of the inflammation. CRP is the only inflammatory marker that has been found to be an indicator of heart health. Therefore, a CRP test is often done along with a blood fat profile to help predict a patient’s risk of a heart attack.

Print/Download PDFWe are all familiar with recommendations from physicians and other health advocacy groups for various kinds of cancer screening tests, such as mammograms to detect breast cancer, colonoscopies to detect and prevent colon cancer, Pap smears to detect and prevent cervical cancer, and PSA tests to detect prostate cancer. What all of these tests have in common is the theme that early detection saves lives. We also know that in people, cancers for which there are no good methods of early detection such as ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer are often so advanced at the time of diagnosis that cure rates are low. With that as context, it’s completely understandable that we would be eager to embrace technologies that offer early cancer detection for our dogs. Our natural expectation is that the earlier cancer is diagnosed, the better chance our dogs will have for a cure or improved prognosis. And of course, this is especially on the minds of owners of breeds at highest risk for cancer. i Therefore, the recent announcement of a new cancer detection blood test ii intended for use as “a wellness screen for the apparently healthy dog prior to the onset of visible signs” has raised a great deal of interest among dog owners. The most immediate question seems to be, “Does it really work?” While some of this discussion will be specific to this particular test, the general considerations can guide evaluation of other tests marketed for similar purposes."

"text": "\"What do my blood tests mean? This is a question almost everyone with lupus will ask especially at the beginning of their journey to better health. Unless you are in the medical field and studied rheumatic diseases, you probably have never heard of some of the blood tests associated with diagnosing, and managing lupus. Due to the complexities of SLE, there are many blood tests that need to be regularly run just to keep track of where, how, and how badly the disease is affecting your body. Lupus can go into any part or organ of the human body, making it impossible to predict, but with the use of proper and continual testing, our specialists can keep track of lupus and manage it properly.http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/conditions/adult/arthritis_and_other_rheumatic_diseases/systemic_lupus_erythematosus_lupus_85Lupus is difficult to diagnose because of the vagueness of the symptoms each person might have. There is no single test that can diagnose lupus. A diagnosis is usually confirmed based on a complete medical history, reported symptoms, and a physical examination that may include the following: Blood test (to detect for certain antibodies that are present in most people with lupus)Blood and urine tests (to assess kidney function)Complement test (to measure the level of complement, a group of proteins in the blood that help destroy foreign substances; low levels of complement in the blood are often associated with lupus)X-rays - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (also called ESR or sed rate) - a measurement of how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. When swelling and inflammation are present, the blood's proteins clump together and become heavier than normal. Thus, when measured, they fall and settle faster at the bottom of the test tube."

Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email By: Valerie Conners Related To: Cruises Travel's Best Luxury Turn your typical all-inclusive cruise up a notch by tossing cost to the wind and booking with an ultra-luxury cruise line, where standards like airfare, meals and drinks are not only included, but come in the form of business-class flights, haute French cuisine and premium liquors and wines. Here, we've selected the world's finest all-inclusive cruises.1. Crystal Cruises Luxury cruise provider Crystal Cruises began offering all-inclusive packages to customers as recently as spring 2012, joining the ranks of other popular cruise lines with similar deals. Both the Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony ships offer deals to guests that include many expected all-inclusive amenities: round-trip airfare, dining in the ships' restaurants, complimentary wines and spirits (though premium brands are excluded), non-alcoholic beverages and all gratuities for housekeeping, dining and staff. The packages also include a number of specialty perks, such as fitness classes, golf lessons with PGA pros and shuttles into port towns. Avid learners can also take advantage of onboard enrichment classes and entertainment (like the Crystal Visions lecture series featuring authors and celebrities), computer science classes, art classes and a film series. Guests staying in the ultra-luxe penthouse suites are also privy to a personal butler, as well as packing and unpacking services -- all tips included!2. Seabourn Cruise Line Seabourn handily ranks as one of the world's finest cruise lines by featuring smaller high-end ships that cater to experienced and cultured travelers. The cruise line's ships vary in size from 104 to 223 all-suite cabins, with trip features that include airfare, gourmet (and award-winning) meals, drinks and onboard enrichment lectures, which feature guest experts to add insight to your vacation experience."

"text": "\"Cruising to Hawaii is one of the most affordable ways to visit. A Hawaiian vacation is a dream travel destination for most Americans, but there's more to do than wiggle your toes in the sand and watch palm trees swaying in the breeze. Cruises to the Hawaiian Islands fill your hours with visits to volcanoes and top scenic spots on the islands, and sweet cruise deals can make it easy and affordable for vacation budgeting. Before getting too excited about a bargain cruise rate, though, know what the price includes so vacation at sea doesn't include unexpected wallet shock. Time is Money Expect to pay more to cruise during the Hawaiian high season – from December through April – which corresponds with cold weather in much of the U. S. Summertime, when kids are out of school, is also a high season that pushes prices up. Premium pricing isn't without its benefits, however. Travelers enjoy the most extensive selection of ships, entertainment and shore excursions, and whale watching becomes a favorite pastime during winter months as humpbacks migrate to Hawaii to raise their young. You should, however, keep in mind that high season involves heavy crowds. Book a cruise between May 1 and June 30 or from after Labor Day through mid-December to get the best bargains. Kids are in school, so vacationers can enjoy the sights with less crowding."

Regent Seven Seas Cruises (RSSC) has been chosen as the world’s top-rated cruise line by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure magazine and is a leader in the six-star luxury market. This line’s three all-suite vessels represent the best in high-end cruising without the formality: posh surroundings, personal service, delicious international gourmet cuisine, and plenty of space in which to enjoy it all. Sailing to more than 300 ports around the world, Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ spacious ships are elegant, but not stuffy, radiating a casual country club vibe and an informal dress code that invites guests to dress smartly, but comfortably (only the longer itineraries have scheduled formal nights). While most passengers are wealthy travelers in their 50s and 60s on up, the shorter routes attract a broader demographic, with some younger couples and during summers and holidays, and even a few families in the mix when there are supervised activities offered for ages 5 plus. RSSC keeps its elegant fleet in tip top shape with frequent refurbishments and enhancements to offer its discerning guests the best of everything. Dining On Regent Seven Seas Cruises Love surf & turf? Prime 7 is a contemporary take on a classic steak house that’s getting raves.

Rating: 5 of 5 stars By John Stansfield , January 7, 2016 , Tips & Tricks When is the best time to cruise to Hawaii, Alaska, Europe, the Caribbean, Canada and New England? The answer of this question depends on a lot of variables. Do you need scheduling around breaks at school or may be a holiday week is the best time for a cruise? Is your goal to escape cold winter at home or you're flexible and don't mind making tradeoffs in timing. Your answer will tell you which sailing season is the best bet for you. Most cruise regions feature high season - periods of peak demand, shoulder season - with moderate demand and low season - low demand. Not long ago, high season was when weather was best in a certain area. Since more and more families choose cruising for a vacation, summer months have become the period with peak demand, regardless of the weather in the region or at home. Families need to book sailings during high season as early as possible."

This model is a very lightweight 2.05kg and its only downside is a relatively small packing volume of 24 litres, though it suits light packers and is ideal for a quick midweek jaunt. Cabin Max London, Oxford Stowaway, £18The Oxford Stowaway counts as 'second bag' when flying with Ryanair Buy at amazon.co.uk Considered a ‘small cabin bag’ this petite 20x35x20cm backpack style bag is ideal for even the stingiest carry-on restrictions. Featuring a small exterior zip pocket, and a large main compartment for the bulk of items, it’s a two-in-one, as some airlines (including Ryanair) will permit this size as the ‘second bag’ as it fits under the seat in front. American Tourister Funshine, £55Buy at americantourister.co.uk If you want a sturdy yet practical cabin case, you can’t go far wrong with the Funshine. With four wheel spinners, a durable and lightweight (2.5kg) polyester construction, as well as sizeable 36-litre capacity, it comes in at a very reasonable price. The model is a great option for regular low-cost airline travellers as it fits all but the most stringent airline allowances (namely Wizz Air). It comes in five vibrant colours that make for a refreshing change in a sea of black nylon. Marks and Spencer, Heritage 4 Wheel Cabin Suitcase, £89Marks and Spencer’s Heritage collection looks and feels deceptively luxurious Buy at marksandspencer.com A very elegant looking case with tan ‘leather’ accents, this is part of Marks and Spencer’s Heritage collection and looks and feels deceptively luxurious. With protective reinforcement side bumpers, grab handles and a TSA locking system, the case is easy to load and unload and offers more than its fair share of additional features."

The majority of people love them, but some people hate them. Cruising makes it easy to visit several places in a single trip without the need to repack your belongings and sit in a car/train/bus/plane to travel to each one; your hotel room comes along with you, and even provides the transportation. Additionally, seeing several islands or cities in a region can help you decide if and where you'd want to visit later for a longer time. Typical itineraries also limit the time you can spend in each place, usually just a short day of activities or sightseeing. They may also include one or more days at sea: paradise if you enjoy a relaxing day by the pool, but frustrating if you prefer more active and open exploration. Nonetheless, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks for enough people to support a growing industry. Today you can visit every continent on earth, including Antarctica, by cruise ship. The most exotic itineraries, such as the Galapagos Islands, are best visited by small expedition vessels. While these cruises are expensive, you'll be traveling with expert guides and excursions are usually included."

"text": "Shutterstock Many cruise lines have been quietly raising automatic gratuities, which means cruisers may be paying out more in tips to cruise staff. In the past few years, many cruise lines (especially those originating in North America) have added an automatic gratuity policy — whereby tips for staff are automatically added to your bill — or have upped the amount they charge a day for automatic gratuity. For its most recent winter sailings, Oceania upped its automatic gratuities for guests in staterooms by more than 3% to $15 a day per guest and for those in more luxurious rooms by more than 7% to $22.50 a day per guest, and P&O Cruises just bumped up its daily automatic gratuity by nearly 13%. And last year, Royal Caribbean RCL, +1.90% — joining the likes of Carnival CCL, +0.65% and Norwegian NCLH, +2.46% — made its formerly optional tipping policy automatic and now guests pay $12 a day per person. While these amounts look fairly reasonable on the surface, they can lead to a hefty tab — even on budget lines — that consumers need to prepare for. The average automatic gratuity for a standard room on a larger, budget ship like Royal Caribbean or Norwegian is about $12 per person, a day (up from about $10 per person a day a couple of years ago), says Rich Tucker, the business development manager of Cruise Deals.com. That means a couple taking a seven-day cruise would shell out $168 for tips for dining and the cabin steward. You will pay this even if you eat at the buffet rather than have a sit-down dinner, says Colleen Mc Daniel, managing editor of Cruisecritic.com. Furthermore, if you’re staying in anything but a standard room, you should expect to pay even more. Now have a few cocktails and you’ll see this automatic tip amount balloon even further."

"text": "\"Ever since the completion of her record breaking maiden voyage in July 1952, the illustrious S. S. UNITED STATES has captured the attention and imagination of the public from all over the globe. She is quite easily America's greatest ocean liner; a beautiful example where design, and construction meet as a true testament to the life long work of her chief designer, William Francis Gibbs. For the better half of the early 20th century, the United States was not in the business of building what were known as 'ships of state' - generally the largest and fastest super-liners that were unequaled in style representing the best that the British, French, German and Italian already proved they could build. The mentality that the American steamship lines could not compete with the likes of such greats as the stately QUEEN MARY, the ultimate NORMANDIE, the beautiful REX and the streamlined BREMEN changed after the second World War. Once it was seen that the 1000' foot Cunard Queens- the MARY and the ELIZABETH proved they could carry thousands of troops at a time, the federal government took keen interest and plans were enacted for America to build its own super-liner with a large percentage of subsidizing coming from the government, in exchange for its use in times of war as a troop transport. In fact, enough U. S. funds were set aside to build several liners. Two of the ships would be the basis for construction and form what would become the INDEPENDENCE and CONSTITUTION for American Export Lines, and the AMERICA and the UNITED STATES for the United States Lines. While the Big U- as she became affectionately known as- proved to be a successful liner, it was not enough to overcome the technological race for the skies as the jet age took a great majority of business away from the steamship lines during the 1950's and 1960s. Rising fuel costs, and labor strikes spelled the end for the great ocean liner as many of these passengers ships were forced to either adapt and find work under the new age of cruising or face the scrap yard with the exception of a handful of these same liners finding long periods of lay up. The greatest of which has surely been the SS UNITED STATES as she has spent more time in lay-up than at sea."

"text": "Alaska is sometimes thought of as America’s last frontier, with the state’s rugged mountains covering huge amounts of land, and much of it largely untouched by humans. It is also home to glaciers and wide waterways, referred to as passages, bordering the thick brush of the mountains. It is these waterways that enable cruising to be such an amazing way to see Alaska. An Alaskan cruise brings passengers alongside wildlife and glaciers with panoramic views visible from the decks of the ship. Where Alaska cruises sail Alaska cruise itineraries typically include the Inside Passage, a beautiful part of Alaska’s landscape that stretches along the southeast coast of Alaska. Along the way, the famous Hubbard Glacier is visible along with other glaciers and fjords. There’s also the chance to see a wide variety of wildlife. If you’re interested in seeing more of the wilderness, many cruise lines offer cruise tours, which either start or end your cruise vacation with a land portion that takes you through the inland area of Alaska. There are also many options for where to start your Alaska cruise. Leaving from Seattle to Vancouver means you’ll get to see parts of the Canada coast as you sail north; however, if it’s a seven-night cruise your itinerary may then include more days at sea and less time in port."

The frustration that many felt was typified by Janie Esparza, one of the first passengers to get back on land. \"\" It was horrible. Horrible,\"\" Esparza told a scrum of reporters. \"\" The bathroom facilities were horrible and we could not flush toilets. No electricity and our rooms were in total darkness. Honestly, think that this ship should have ever sailed out. \"\" The Carnival Triumph, became a major media story, when it caught fire off the coast of Mexico. The blaze left the vessel listing to the side, drifting in Gulf of Mexico currents and the more than 4,200 passengers and crew on board in limbo. It took five days for the ship to dock at the Alabama Cruise Terminal, three days after it was due."

"text": "On the trail of New York's lost Teardrop: John Craven tracks down a forgotten monument to the 9/11 victims By John Craven Published: 12:00 EDT, 19 November 2012 | Updated: 13:00 EDT, 19 November 2012View comments About 50 million people visit New York every year and more than eight million live there but no one seems to have heard of The Teardrop...which is odd because it is a 100ft tall, 175-ton memorial to those who died on the city's blackest day. Learning of its existence by chance, I tried to discover more from locals at Ground Zero, where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre stood until September 11, 2001, and was met with blank expressions. Expression of grief: The huge bronze-clad monument was a gift from Russia to the US and is located on a remote stretch of waterfront with Manhattan as the backdrop The one person who did know was an official guide but he said: 'I bet 99 per cent of New Yorkers haven't a clue where it is. ' Our search began at the World Trade Centre station, where a train took us to Exchange Place in New Jersey. From then on, instructions were vague – we had to catch a light-railway tram for eight stops along the Jersey shoreline to 34th Street in Bayonne and ask around. Eventually someone walked by and kindly offered to call a local taxi firm on his mobile. He'd never heard of The Teardrop but luckily the taxi driver had. He drove us two miles across a wasteland which was once an army base until we came to an isolated quay. And there, high on a mound, stood the monument – a massive bronze-clad block with a great gash down the middle into which is suspended a 40ft, four-ton shiny nickel teardrop. Touching: John Craven poses next to The Teardrop (left) in New York."

Getty Images More On:russia Trump’s lead attorney in Russia probe resigns May calling for European allies to stand against Russia Breakthrough in US-Russia ties long way off: Kremlin Mueller reveals lines of questioning to Trump's lawyers In a pair of brazen moves that resembled 1960s Cold War tactics, a Russian warship cruised into a Cuban port Wednesday as President Vladimir Putin massed troops near his country’s border with Ukraine. The Viktor Leonov, an armed Vishnya-class intelligence-gathering ship, was mysteriously docked at the Port of Havana’s cruise-ship area. The warcraft, which has a crew of around 200, is reportedly armed with 30mm guns and anti-aircraft missiles. Neither Cuban authorities nor state media were speaking about the ship’s sudden visit. The former Soviet Union was Cuba’s sponsor state through three decades of Cold War, and the warship’s visit comes as Havana’s political patron, Venezuela, is facing protests against its socialist government. Meanwhile, Putin ordered an urgent drill to test the combat readiness of the armed forces across western Russia, bordering Ukraine. Putin has made no public comment on Ukraine since President Viktor Yanukovych was driven from power over the weekend after months of political turmoil sparked by his decision to spurn deals with the European Union and improve ties with Russia. The United States and European nations have warned Russia against military intervention in Ukraine, a former Soviet republic that Putin has called a “brother nation.”"

NEW REGULATIONS ON A VISA OBTAINING PROCEDURE IN EU COUNTRIES The Russian consulates located in Europe take 3 to 10 business days for the visa processing. In addition, Russian visas issued by the consulates in Europe may have a five day \"\"waiting period\"\" on entering Russia, i.e. the person can not travel to Russia for at least 5 days after the visa is issued. However, this rule is applied sporadically and largely depends on the local consul's decretion. If your travel plans are urgent, we strongly recommend you to contact the Russian consulate you plan to collect your visa at and make sure that your visa will be available in time. Russian Tourist Visa Your original passport with at least 2 blank visa-designated pages (passport must be valid for at least 6 months after intended departure date from Russia). Two copies of Russian visa application form, completed and signed. ONE passport-size photo signed on the back. If Tour Group or Cruise Passenger: Letter from tour company or cruise line confirming itinerary and including a copy of the confirmation from authorized Russian travel company which shows the reference number and confirmation number for the visa.

We even did some pre-cruise research online by reading reviews on other websites from others who had been on this identical cruise and ship. The reviews were mixed, so we were questioning our expectations which were based on our own past experience with Viking River Cruises. TRAVELING TO RUSSIATraveling to Russia is a little more complex than to Europe, or even Asia. You have to plan ahead. Russia requires that you have a visa to enter the country. The visa is basically a stamp in your passport that is good for a specific period of time to gain entry into the country. Obtaining a Russian visa can be done the hard way, by contacting the Russian consulate directly and going through the application process.

"text": "Russia Cruises On a river cruise in Russia you’ll likely visit two of this expansive country’s most important cities, St. Petersburg and Moscow. St. Petersburg has always been more of a city focused on the arts and Moscow on business and politics. Tolstoy even remarked about this dichotomy in his masterpiece novel Anna Karenina. In St. Petersburg you’ll find the ornate Hermitage Museum, an art museum which was started by Catherine the Great. In Moscow you’ll be wowed by the colorful onion domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral at Red Square. When cruising through Russia you’ll also get a chance to experience the rural parts of Western Russia in Goritsy or the Mandrogi village, which is reconstructed to look just as it did during the 18 th century. Things to Do on a Cruise to Russia Adopt the pluck and determination of the Russian people and realize that there is nothing you can’t do on your cruise to Russia. Russia is full of crazy stories, exciting history and beautiful traditions, so drink it in with some unforgettable experiences. A few of our favorite things to do are outlined below: Explore the armory at the Kremlin where you can see the stunning royal jewels of the czars and czarinas. Don’t forget to check out the Faberge eggs, intricately decorated and jewel-adorned eggs created in the late 1800s and early 1900s."

Is this correct and if so how does it effect Infinity cruises out of Buenos Aires in February Reply Anonymous July 16, 2013 at 8:31 PMPurchased Alaska cruise to Alaska to travel with my family that resident in Russia. However; all Alaskan cruises make one small stop in Canada. Canadian Embassy all nationwide striking since June 11. Nobody could get Canadian visa. I hope that Cruise ship lines send a letter of protest to Canadian government, but they only recommended to return the tickets with penalty. My sister and her husband got USA visa without problem, this is something unheard. Canadian Embassy ruin nice travel experience. Reply David Prestwich March 5, 2014 at 11:50 AMWe just disembarked from the Celebrity Silhouette on March 2. My wife was very sick the morning of disembarkation and in the haste of trying to take care of her, pack our last few things and be out of our stateroom we left my son's stuffed bear behind."

ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST: The United States today imposed sanctions against two Russian intelligence agencies, four Russian military intelligence officers and three Russian companies. President Obama signed an executive order citing them all for hacking - or, in the legalese of the order, for tampering with, altering or causing a misappropriation of information with the purpose or effect of interfering with or undermining election processes or institutions. The president also said that a report on the Russian hacking will go to Congress soon. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said this action was - and I quote - \"\"overdue but an appropriate way to end eight years of failed policy with Russia.\"\" The U. S. also expelled 35 Russian diplomats from the U. S. Will these sanctions have any effect? Well, joining us now is Ian Bremmer, who's president of the Eurasia Group, a political risk firm. Welcome to the program once again. IAN BREMMER: Sure."

"text": "\"By Kelly Ranson Cruise Critic Contributor Save Share Updated September 14, 2017Norway, so far north that I always imagined the landscape to be dominated by ice, fjords and glaciers, has always seemed like a mystical place to me, and after reading Philip Pullman's book, \"\"Northern Lights\"\" (a.k.a. \"\" The Golden Compass\"\" in the U. S.), which features many scenes there, I was even more intrigued by the region. Not only is the country's western coastline full of scenic and, in summer, green and lush forests fjords, it's also known for its quaint, colourfully painted coastal houses. This sailing route seemed to be one of the prettiest in the world -- a great reason to take a Norwegian Fjords cruise. As I began to research itineraries, I discovered a few more perks for U. K. cruisers like me. I didn't have to travel far to depart on my northern journey -- plenty of cruises leave from convenient U. K. homeports. And I wouldn't have to worry about jet lag because there's only a one-hour time difference between England and Norway. Plus, I'd be able to stretch each day of my holiday to the fullest because most Northern Europe cruises take place in the summer, when magical, never-ending days are pretty much guaranteed in the Land of the Midnight Sun. Find a Cruise Find a Cruise With numerous options on tap -- from the small, no-nonsense coastal ships of Hurtigruten that stop in tiny villages to the massive, Southampton -based Grand Princess, complete with onboard features like a casino, spa and multiple dining venues -- making a choice about which kind of Norwegian Fjords cruise really does boil down to itinerary (in-depth versus hitting the high points) and onboard amenities. This time out, I went for the latter and boarded Princess ' Southampton-based Grand Princess for the journey."

SANGER JAN. 11, 201600:00 00:00This video is not currently supported on your browser. A jet fighter drops a mock B61 model 12 bomb that zeroes in on the target zone, as part of a $10 billion United States government program that seeks to build a smart atom bomb of great precision. By SANDIA NATIONAL LABORATORIES on January 11, 2016. . As North Korea dug tunnels at its nuclear test site last fall, watched by American spy satellites, the Obama administration was preparing a test of its own in the Nevada desert. A fighter jet took off with a mock version of the nation’s first precision-guided atom bomb. Adapted from an older weapon, it was designed with problems like North Korea in mind: Its computer brain and four maneuverable fins let it zero in on deeply buried targets like testing tunnels and weapon sites. And its yield, the bomb’s explosive force, can be dialed up or down depending on the target, to minimize collateral damage. In short, while the North Koreans have been thinking big — claiming to have built a hydrogen bomb, a boast that experts dismiss as wildly exaggerated — the Energy Department and the Pentagon have been readying a line of weapons that head in the opposite direction. The build-it-smaller approach has set off a philosophical clash among those in Washington who think about the unthinkable."

Our Top 10 analysis is based on the combined score of offensive weapons, stealthiness, and some other features. The main mission for this type of boats is to engage hostile submarines and ships. It must have good sonar in order to detect enemy submarines. Also it is extremely important for these boats to approach enemy boats and warships undetected. After engagement it is even more important to leave the area undetected by hostile anti-submarine ships and maritime patrol aircraft. Some of the latest attack submarines can launch cruise missiles against ships and land targets. So stealthiness and armament are the main factors deciding which attack submarine is the best. This list only includes nuclear-powered attack submarines, that are currently in service around the world."

"text": "St. Petersburg Russia Weather in July-Augustby Natalia Rogachyova on March 10, 2013The weather in St Petersburg, Russia, in July and August is amongst the best of the year. These months have the highest average temperature, and during the daytime, the mercury should hover between 20 and 25C. However, there is some variation between the two months. If you visit during early July, you’ll be able to experience the famous White Nights – the summer days where dusk blends almost straight into dawn, and it seldom becomes dark. The White Nights are punctuated with parties, concerts, plays, festivals, and even midnight swims in the river. If you visit at the end of August, then you’ll experience St. Petersburg at the beginning of autumn, rather than the height of summer. Although the days will still be long, the temperature will be dipping, and the White Nights only a happy memory. Of course, anytime within the two months will be a wonderful time to visit. Summertime St. Petersburg excursions from cruise ship or hotel can include trips to the Peterhof Fountains, and the fabulous grounds of the Pavlovsk Palace. There are also some excellent parks, pavement cafes, and the opportunity to take a cruise on the canals, which freeze over in the winter. There’s also a general spirit of joie de vivre – the people of St. Petersburg love making the most of the summer, as it helps them to balance out the long northern winter."

"text": "Like history's most intrepid explorers, today's voyagers can experience the awe of skirting the eastern edge of the U. S. – 2,000 miles from Maine to Florida – by choosing a cruise along the East Coast. Every major cruise line serving U. S. ports has a well-established lineup of Canada/New England itineraries, most of which feature ports on the Eastern Seaboard north of New York. Most lines also have cruises departing from east coast ports as far south as Miami, Florida. Yet, only a handful combine the two regions and points in between in the same cruise, presenting those who desire a voyage up or down the east coast of the U. S. with a limited number of options. They range in duration from 13 to 16 days, and all stop at ports in Canada as well as the United States. Be sure you have a valid passport ready to go. Oceania Cruises Oceania Cruises offers 16-day cruises between Miami, Florida, and Montreal, Canada. The northbound voyage stops first at Port Canaveral, Florida, and the following morning reaches Charleston, South Carolina. It takes a day of cruising to reach New York, then another to reach Boston. From the seventh day of the voyage, the ship calls at a new port daily, visiting Portland and Bar Harbor, Maine, and in Canada, Saint John in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick and the Nova Scotia ports of Shelburne and Halifax."

The cruise left Long Beach with stops in Mexico at the ports of Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallarta before returning to Long Beach. It was our 8th Carnival cruise (24th overall). We have sailed on NCL 15 times and Royal Caribbean once. We chose a west coast cruise out of Long Beach to revisit the Mexican Riviera and see some games at Dodger Stadium in nearby Los Angeles. The ship’s itinerary would let us visit Mazatlán for the first time. We had sailed on the Carnival Miracle a few years ago out of New York, so this was be the first time we would sail the same Carnival ship more than once. One thing that interested us was that the Miracle was to go through a dry dock and upgrades a month before we sailed on her. We were curious how those upgrades would add to our cruise experience.

Nearly every cruise line, major or minor, offers some type of itinerary that either concentrates on the region or at least touches a port or two. Voyages not only depart from the region's major jumping-off points ( Miami and Ft. Lauderdale's Port Everglades) but also other East Coast ports ranging from New York City to Charleston. You can even cruise to or from Europe -- during seasonal repositionings in spring and fall. Is time an issue? Eastern Caribbean trips range from perfect-weekend, three- or four-night jaunts to 10 nights and beyond. And, finally, travelers can choose cruises that represent all budget ranges, from \"\"cheap cheap cheap\"\" to ultra luxury (and moderate in between). Technically, the Eastern Caribbean region encompasses the British and American Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the two-nation-one-island St. Maarten and St. Martin. We also include the Bahamas -- which is not officially part of the \"\"Caribbean\"\" -- and Grand Turk in Turks & Caicos because stops there are such a major part of so many Eastern Caribbean itineraries."

Campbell River is located in a region rich in natural resources. The towering West Coast forests have fostered a growing forestry industry, from logging companies to pulp mills and sawmill operations. Mining is another active industry in Campbell River, with a diverse range of products including zinc, copper, lead, gold, silver and coal. Long before European explorers entered the waters surrounding Campbell River, the First Nations people had known for thousands of years that this was a special place, living here in harmony with nature and the life cycles of the salmon. They occupied small villages scattered along the coast, and fished salmon, which had spiritual significance and is forever honoured through art and ceremony. The origin of the name Campbell River lacks absolute proof, but it is probable that the river now designated a BC Heritage River, and subsequently the town near its mouth, were named after Dr. Samuel Campbell, assistant surgeon on the HMS Plumper, a British survey ship that surveyed Johnstone Strait and this part of the B. C. coastline in the 1850s and 1860s."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search See also: Strait of Anián For other uses, see Northwest Passage (disambiguation). Northwest Passage routes The Northwest Passage (abbreviated as NWP) is, from the European and northern Atlantic point of view, the sea route to the Pacific Ocean through the Arctic Ocean, along the northern coast of North America via waterways through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] The eastern route along the Arctic coasts of Norway and Siberia is accordingly called Northeast Passage (NEP). The various islands of the archipelago are separated from one another and from the Canadian mainland by a series of Arctic waterways collectively known as the Northwest Passages or Northwestern Passages. [ 5]For centuries, European explorers sought a navigable passage as a possible trade route to Asia. An ice-bound northern route was discovered in 1850 by the Irish explorer Robert Mc Clure; it was through a more southerly opening in an area explored by the Scotsman John Rae in 1854 that Norwegian Roald Amundsen made the first complete passage in 1903–1906. Until 2009, the Arctic pack ice prevented regular marine shipping throughout most of the year. Arctic sea ice decline has rendered the waterways more navigable for ice navigation. [ 6] [7] [8] [9]The contested sovereignty claims over the waters may complicate future shipping through the region: the Canadian government maintains that the Northwestern Passages are part of Canadian Internal Waters, [10] but the United States and various European countries claim that they are an international strait and transit passage, allowing free and unencumbered passage. [ 11] [12] If, as has been claimed, parts of the eastern end of the Passage are barely 15 metres (49 ft) deep, [13] the route's viability as a Euro-Asian shipping route is reduced."

"text": "\"World's largest tall ship being built by Star Clippers Tall ships Tom Edwards21 May 2015 • 12:00am Star Clippers has begun construction on what will be the largest square-rigged sailing ship in the world. The new vessel, the fourth ship in the Star Clippers fleet, is expected to launch mid-2017. It will supersede the line's flagship Royal Clipper, which carries 227 passengers and is currently the largest square-rigged passenger ship. The build will be modelled on the five-masted sailing ship France II, which was commissioned in 1911 and was also the largest square-rigger in the world when it launched.• Cruise holidays: a guide for first-timers - dispelling the myths Announcing the new ship on board Star Flyer yesterday, founder and owner of Star Clippers Mikael Krafft described the build as \"\"an ambition I have had for a long time\"\". He added: \"\"The ship's rig will be identical to that of France II and dimensions will be very similar, although we have added various features that will make this the most magnificent passenger sailing ship afloat. \"\" A view of the Amalfi coast from on board Royal Clipper (Photo: Teresa Machan)The ship will carry 300 passengers in 150 cabins, weigh 8,770 tons and be powered by 6,350 sq m of sails. Technically known as a five-mast barque, its facilities will include four bars, three swimming pools, a dining room, a library, a watersports platform and a spa and beauty centre.• Small ship cruises in the Far East Construction started 10 months ago in Croatia's Brodosplit shipyard on the Adriatic coast. \"\" Larger, more established shipyards are unable or unwilling to cope with the demands of hand-building a sailing ship of this size,\"\" said Krafft.aid Krafft. Most new ships are constructed in more established shipyards in Germany and Italy. Commenting on his difficulty in finding shipyards capable of building large sailing ships – rather than the more conventional 'sail-assisted' engine-powered vessels – Krafft joked that construction of his vessel had started \"\"100 years too late\"\".• P&O's Britannia Takes to the Water Patong Beach, Phuket The company has also announced its return to southeast Asia, where it will operate a winter season in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore."

S. Virgin Islands is the Caribbean's second-busiest cruise ship port, but in summer, overnight guests often can have the place to themselves. Tranquil bays, untrammeled forests and beaches where my footprints are the first of the day. The Caribbean I treasure is one of solitude and escape. So major cruise ship ports should be the last place for a quiet-seeking beach bum. When I see cruise ships, I envision beach loungers in short supply, overcrowded attractions and aggressive taxi drivers. To be fair, there are islands large enough to absorb the influx of visitors. San Juan is the region's fifth-busiest port, but cruisers don't travel far from that city of 395,000. Those of us who are phobic about crowds can simply escape elsewhere on Puerto Rico.

"text": "\"Florida docks 368The Twin Dolphin Marina in Bradenton, on the west coast of Florida, welcomes cruisers and offers slips at rates that are much more reasonable than most marinas along the state's southeast coast. Melanie Neale At the 2006 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, thousands of people traipsed the docks of Bahia Mar Marina to look at new gadgets and the shiny, fiberglass yachts that lined the docks facing Florida's Intracoastal Waterway. Pushing to get a front-row view of the boats, many more than 100 feet long, most in the crowd were oblivious to the fact that they were standing on a literary landmark. John D. Mac Donald's fictional detective, Travis Mc Gee, was a liveaboard boater, and his houseboat, the Busted Flush, was based in Bahia Mar's slip F-18. While solving mysteries in the 1960s and 1970s, Mc Gee was constantly shaking his head at Florida's rampant overdevelopment and environmental losses. We can only imagine what he'd say about Fort Lauderdale now. At Bahia Mar's monthly rate of $2.60 per foot per day, with a 40-foot minimum, it would cost close to $4,000 per month for Mc Gee to dock the 52-foot Busted Flush in its old slip. Chances are that by now he'd have moved to somewhere up in northern Florida. While there's little hard data regarding the number of boat slips in Florida, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection estimates that the total now is about the same as it was in 1987. Over the same period, the number of registered boats in the state has risen more than 50 percent."

There are literally thousands of these lovely segments of land in the Baltic Sea, which remain very little visited by the British. Yet a great many of them offer wonderful sandy beaches, picturesque fishing villages, nature reserves and unspoilt stretches of forest. There are ruined castles on some, lighthouses and windmills on others. And if the gentle delights of an old-fashioned seaside holiday start to wane, there's a soft buzz at many of the resort towns of the larger islands. Indeed, while the Brits head south to find the sun, in the long days of the northern summer the islands of the Baltic become playgrounds for the locals - Scandinavians, Germans, Estonians and more. THE MEDITERRANEAN OF THE NORTH? Well, to an extent. But the Baltic Sea is quite a bit smaller, and clearly the climate is cooler. In a manner of speaking the various cultures of the area are, too: this arm of the Atlantic Ocean is bordered by Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany and Denmark."

This page deals with New South Wales see other pages for Cruising Sydney (includes Pittwater) or Cruising Queensland. The New South Wales coast runs about 240 nautical miles from Cape Howe in the south to Sydney and about another 400 nautical miles from Sydney to Point Danger in the north. The two portions have a different flavour and rather different weather. To the south the anchorages are rather closer together with artificial fishing harbours (Woolongong, Kiama and Ulladulla) and large bays like Jervis Bay, Bateman’s Bay and Twofold Bay, plus barred river entrances like Bermagui, Moruya and Crookhaven River. To the north after Port Stephens, 87 nm north of Sydney, there are two artificial harbours, Coff's Harbour and Crowdy Head and all the remaining all-round anchorages are barred river entrances, mostly a bit more tricky than the southern counterparts. These anchorages are secure once inside, but it pays to be very careful when entering or leaving. On this coast it pays to seek shelter early. For example in a north-easterly gale there is no safe entrance north of Port Stephens right up to and past the Queensland border. Our members regularly cruise and enjoy this coast, but it is not one for the overconfident or impatient, i.e. for poor seamanship!Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and Port Stephens are good places from which to get a car and head for the Hunter Valley vineyards."

"text": "\"Over the Moon at Half Moon Cay Holland America recently made several enhancements to its private island in the Bahamas, and I checked them out on a trip there last week. By Heidi Sarnaadvertisement Cruise line private islands in the Bahamas and the Caribbean are among the most highly rated ports of call. Who can argue with sun, sand, watersports, food and drink all laid out for the exclusive use of passengers? As many Caribbean islands become increasingly jammed with as many as 10 cruise ships at a shot, a day spent lolling about a private island spells relief from the crowds, strip malls and aggressive touts often encountered at ports in Jamaica, Cozumel, St. Thomas and other places. When a ship visits a private island, it's generally the only one there; only occasionally does a line have two of its ships visit simultaneously. Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Celebrity, Princess, Costa, Disney, and Holland America all have private islands, or parts of islands, that they developed from scratch. Sure, you won't get much of a culture fix on these purpose-built beach retreats, but unless you're seeing the Caribbean via a small ship or yacht, you're not going to get much of an authentic local flavor from any island port you visit. Stoking the popularity of their islands, cruise lines are continually beefing up the amenities. Trends include more facilities for kids, massage services and optional tours, from guided snorkeling excursions to glass-bottom boat rids. Holland America recently made several enhancements to its private island in the Bahamas, and I checked them out on a trip there last week."

At a time when every cruise line seems to be pushing the quote/unquote \"\"luxury\"\" elements of their onboard programs, NCL hews to the upper center, with always-casual dining (and lots of it), cheerful and creative decor, and hip innovations like onboard bowling alleys, outdoor nightclubs, gourmet beer bars, and inside cabins with adjustable mood lighting. Its newest vessels are the most fun megaships at sea, and it's the go-to line for inter-island Hawaii cruises. Nutshell? NCL's the kind of cruise line you want to sit down and have a beer with. Sails to: Caribbean, The Bahamas, Panama Canal, Alaska, Mexican Riviera, Bermuda, Hawaii, Canada/New England, Pacific Coast (plus South America, Europe). The Experience Back in the mid- to late '90s, NCL operated a mixed-bag fleet of older ships whose onboard vibe was only a couple of steps above budget. Fast-forward a dozen years and presto-chango: NCL is now one of the top players in the industry, with innovative itineraries, a fleet of new megaships, a casual onboard atmosphere, top-drawer entertainment, and a staggering number of dining choices. The line was the first to dump the old system of formal/informal/casual nights, going totally casual and starting a trend across the industry. The new program also did away with fixed dining times and seating assignments, leaving passengers free to choose when and where they want to dine among a variety of venues."

"text": "Ship Preview: Freedom of the Seasby Luisa Frey Gaynor | January 5, 2006Not to be outdone by the many new water parks on land, Royal Caribbean will bring this popular form of family entertainment to the high seas with the May 2006 launch of the 3,600-passenger Freedom of the Seas. This 160,000-ton vessel will surpass the Queen Mary 2 as the largest passenger ship, and will have many “firsts” at sea, along with the usual Royal Caribbean trademarks such as a rock-climbing wall and ice-skating rink. Freedom of the Seas is 43 percent larger than Royal Caribbean’s roomy Voyager class of ships and thus has space for three large pool areas, each offering innovative concepts. Water, Water, Everywhere Pool Area With all its bells and whistles, the ship’s surf park is creating big waves in the cruise industry. A 32-foot-wide by 40-foot-long Flow Rider R generates waves for guests to surf or body-board. Water is forced up a sloped, cushioned platform to create a constant pattern of waves. Passengers who want to hang ten are given a required safety session. Children and teens under 18 must have their parents sign a release waiver for each day of surfing, and have a parent present unless they are participating in an Adventure Ocean activity. Similar to the RCI rock-climbing wall, the minimum age for participation is six years old. There will be a spectator area next to Flow Rider, and an adjacent sports bar will feature live broadcasts of the surf park action."

"text": "\"Cruise Ship Refurbishment Schedule Rating: 4 of 5 stars By Chavdar Chanev , November 26, 2015 , Ships and Lines This is Cruise Mapper's cruise ship refurbishments schedule of dry-dock dates, news and information on deck plan changes during vessel refits, regular maintenance and repairs, overhauls and renovation of small and big passenger cruise ships. Cruise ship refurbishment tends to be the best value-for-money strategy and a highly successful policy for major cruise line companies in a time of world-wide economic uncertainty. For your convenience, this link goes directly to the list of all cruise line refurbishments 2017-2018 schedule. To read more cruise ship technology news, please visit our engines-propulsion-fuel survey. The cruise ship drydock (vessel refit and onboard refurbishments) is a market with annual value at around USD 3 billion. Based on the total number of cruise vessels, the average drydock stay cost per vessel could be between USD 2-3 million per day (spending in drydock facilities worldwide). Cruise ship refurbishments, renovations, refits If you take a look at the list of all ; new cruise vessels under construction or on order, you'll see a very small number of passenger ships being built in the years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. And the majority of those will join the largest ever fleets owned by the world's biggest companies - Carnival and Royal Caribbean International, and their bigger subsidiaries/brands. Why cruise ships are being refurbished? Time is money - while a cruise ship overhaul takes from 15-days to a month, to built a new cruise ship (from design to launch) takes about 3 years (depending on its size, special features, owner, etc)."

And for Sydney Brown, real life is even better than the television show. The 25-year-old has a dream job: She is traveling the world as an acrobat onboard Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas, the largest cruise ship ever built. Brown started working with Royal Caribbean when she was just 19 aboard the Oasis of the Seas, then worked briefly for Cirque du Soleil before getting lured back to the high seas. And it’s no wonder she was attracted to Harmony of the Seas: with some 20 restaurants, 23 swimming pools, a version of Central Park filled with 50 live trees, not to mention two surf simulators, rock-climbing walls, a zip-line, and a three-story waterslide, this ship is like a floating city. Acrobat Sydney Brown tells what it’s like to live and work on Harmony of the Seas. ( Photo courtesy of Sydney Brown)On Harmony of the Seas, Brown stars in ”The Fine Line,” an aqua show with Cirque du Soleil-style acrobatics, and “Big Daddy’s Hideaway Heist,” a performance that combines comedy and diving. On stage, Brown flies across the stage and dives, dances, tumbles and more. Offstage, Brown is getting a chance to travel the world, something that she loves sharing with her 134,000 Instagram followers."

But if you're wondering what all the fuss is about, let's have a quick look at what it means. For starters, it proves that the demand for cruising Down Under is still growing at an incredible rate. About a million Australians took a cruise last year, and every summer, more ships from a variety of global cruise lines arrive to sail around Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific and south-east Asia. The number of ships based in Australia year-round is also at a record high – by November, Carnival Cruise Line, P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises will operate 10 ships (and hundreds of itineraries) between them.

By Johanna Jainchill2 January 2012If your ideal vacation is a strip of sand, a snorkel and a little umbrella in your cocktail, then the Caribbean is where you want your ship to set sail. Related article: Ten great Caribbean secrets The thousands of islands of the Caribbean enjoy year-round sunshine, with the exception of a short hurricane season in late summer and autumn. The Caribbean’s high season begins in the winter and peaks again during the summer when kids are on school holiday. The best bargains can be found during the autumn and spring “shoulder seasons”, especially when hurricanes are a threat. The Caribbean has long been a cruise hub, with almost every line plying these waters at some point during the year. Ships run from the world’s largest, the 5,400-passenger Oasis of the Seas , to the smallest, the Star Clippers’ 170-passenger vessels that run on manually unfurled sails. The large ships will take you to the biggest ports with the most to do, like Nassau and Cozumel, while the smaller ones will allow you to visit pristine and secluded beaches in the Southern Grenadines and British Virgin Islands. It is worth skipping the pricey cruise ship excursions that often take you to the same beach you can get to yourself for half the price. Most cruise ports have official taxi stands; these are your ticket to experience a slice of sand that you will not have to share with half your ship."

St. Maarten, like many other Caribbean islands, was spotted by Christopher Columbus in 1493. But the island's real history began with French and Dutch settlers who divided the island in 1648. They have lived side-by-side ever since. St. Maarten, governed by the Netherlands Antilles until 2010, is now a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (along with Aruba, Curacao and the Netherlands), while St. Martin is part of the French West Indies. What's particularly fun is that you can easily swing back and forth from the Dutch to the French sides and enjoy the best of both.

Ships now have branded apps that allow cruisers to chat with each other onboard, super-fast high-bandwidth Wi-Fi and even tablets for use at sea. Whether you want to post selfies to Facebook or check out your ship's dinner menus on your i Phone, you'll likely be covered. Internet speeds can vary significantly from line to line and ship to ship, depending on factors like location and available bandwidth. Most cruise lines don't offer speeds that can support streaming services like Netflix or Spotify. Royal Caribbean, however, is changing the at-sea connectivity game with a relatively affordable high-speed service that can support video and music streaming. The line rolled out Voom -- the fastest Wi-Fi at sea -- fleetwide in 2016. Just like connection speeds at sea, internet charges vary by cruise line. Some lines charge by the minute, and others offer daily or voyage-long packages. A few lines charge by bandwidth."

Navigator boasts more exterior glass (in balcony staterooms) than her predecessors, and such facilities as a wine bar for appreciation and amusement, expanded youth amenities, a Plaza zone with a diversity of dining venues (both no-fee and fee), the first Latin jazz bar at sea and the first sea-going Ben & Jerry's ice cream parlor (Royal Caribbean has since spread these concepts across its fleet).

A year later, the line added the Nordic Prince to the fleet and in 1972 it added the Sun Viking. In 1978, Song of Norway became Royal Caribbean's first passenger ship to be lengthened. This was accomplished via the insertion of an 85-foot (26 m) section to the vessel's severed center. Following the success of this work, Nordic Prince was also stretched in 1980.

"text": "\"By Ben Lyons Cruise Critic Contributor Save Share Updated September 21, 2017Remember a time when cruising truly meant getting away from it all? Blissfully unaware of work piling up at the office, no cell phones buzzing with messages or computers cluttering up luggage, the cruiser simply tuned out and kicked back. Those blissful days are not so long ago; Norwegian Sky was the first cruise ship to feature an Internet cafe when it debuted in 1999. But times have changed, and the Internet has become such a huge part of our lives that many of us can barely go 15 minutes -- much less a week at sea -- without checking email and texts. For those for whom being disconnected is unbearable, the good news is that Internet access at sea is a reality with Wi-Fi available on virtually all seagoing cruise ships (with the exception of a few barebones expedition ships). Even better news? With two of the industry's biggest players investing millions of dollars in communication infrastructures -- on land, on ships and in the sky via satellites -- more passengers are finding Wi-Fi service and prices more akin to what they are used to finding on land. There are still plenty of ships with spotty, slow and expensive service, but they are no longer the norm. Over the next several years, these improvements will roll out to even more cruise ships. Passengers will be able to send emails, stream movies and Skype or Face Time with friends almost as easily as they do at home."

"text": "Cruises To and From New Orleans The Crescent City is a unique, worldly city that offers endless attractions for the whole family, so it’s no wonder that more and more visitors consider cruising from New Orleans to be like taking two vacations in one. The Port of New Orleans broke the million-passenger milestone for the third year in a row in 2016, handling over a million passenger movements at its two state-of-the-art cruise terminals. According to the Cruise Lines International Association, 80 percent of cruise passengers embarking from New Orleans are from out of state and 60 percent spend an average of two nights in the city either before or after their cruise. With increasing demand for cruises from the Crescent City, cruise lines are responding by home-porting newer and larger ships at the Port of New Orleans. In 2016, Carnival Cruise Line expanded capacity on its year-round, four- and five-day itineraries by 34 percent when the Carnival Triumph replaced the Carnival Elation, while the 3,646-passenger Carnival Dream sails year-round, seven-day itineraries to Caribbean destinations. Norwegian Cruise Line will replace the Norwegian Dawn with the 1,394-passenger Norwegian Pearl in November 2017, offering seasonal seven-, eight- and nine-day itineraries to Mexico, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala and Grand Cayman Island. Norwegian has also signed an agreement that will keep at least one Norwegian cruise ship sailing seasonally from New Orleans until 2018, with an option to extend the deal through 2021. The Port of New Orleans is also host to several unique port calls from a variety of cruise lines such as Holland America Line, P&O Cruises, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, AIDA Cruises, and Azamara Club Cruises. Beyond the open seas, the Port is fast becoming the river cruise capital of the U. S. In response to increased demand, American Cruise Lines has added a second riverboat, the 185-passenger America, to be home-ported in New Orleans. Along with the company’s Queen of the Mississippi vessel, the America will offer various seven-day itineraries on the Lower Mississippi between New Orleans and Memphis, Tennessee."

"text": "Details About The Ultimate Beverage Package on Norwegian Cruise Lineby Janis on April 7, 2015We have friends sailing on an upcoming NCL cruise. They asked us what we knew about Norwegian’s Ultimate Beverage Package. We have first hand experience with the Premium Beverage Package on Royal Caribbean cruises, as well as the All-Inclusive Beverage Package on Princess Cruises. On Holland America Line, we’ve purchased the Signature Beverage Package, and we’ve also recently enjoyed it as a free perk since we bought the cruise during the line’s Explore 4 promotion. Our conclusion: the drink packages are fun but expensive if you buy them, but are really nice when they are an included perk with your cruise fare. Norwegian’s Ultimate Beverage Package includes a variety of spirits, cocktails, wines by the glass and bottled or draft beer that costs $11 or less per drink. The package also includes unlimited fountain soda and juices at all bars, lounges, restaurants and the Great Stirrup Cay. Guests with the Ultimate Beverage Package also receive a 20 percent discount on all bottles of wine that they purchase on board. If you want to purchase the Ultimate Beverage Package for an NCL cruise, you should purchase it online at least a week in advance of your cruise. NCL offfers a $5 per day discount on the Ultimate Beverage Package if you purchase online in advance, with a cost of $54 per person per the # of cruise days, plus an 18 percent gratuity."

About Carnival Triumph1,342Reviews27Cabin Types Starting at$219View Cruises Pro Lack of pretension and solid dining and entertainment; great for first time cruisers Con Outdated hardware and tired color schemes Bottom Line Triumph delivers a classic, fun cruise experience that allows passengers to let loose and relax. Already booked? Find Your Roll Call Carnival Cruise Deals Find a Carnival Triumph Cruise Find a Cruise The 2,758-passenger ship, which dates back to 1999, has a checkered history. It made world headlines in 2013 when an engine fire forced the ship to be without power for several days in the Gulf of Mexico, and conditions onboard became less than ideal. Fixed up, the ship has since rebounded; there is actually a group of 200 or so who return to the vessel each year to commemorate the event. Triumph is not a ship for the sedate. It's loud, with music everywhere. With so many large groups onboard, even your cabin can be noisy, what with doors slamming and families calling back and forth to each other from neighboring rooms."

What would you do? How would you spend your day? Each of us came up with our own special version of doing Disneyland in a single day. We discussed them on the podcast and also received requests to post them. So here is my version of the “ One Day at Disneyland ” plan. I recommend it for the first time Disneyland visitor, or the experienced visitor who only has one day to spend at the Disneyland Resort. First, spend all day in Disneyland Park . I know that many of you love to do park hopping. But my feeling for someone who has never seen either park is that park hopping breaks the magic."

Even though Costa Rica covers less than .03 percent of the earth's total surface, you can find nearly five percent of the planet's plant and animal species there. Its location -- between Nicaragua and Panama on the isthmus connecting North and South America, with the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Caribbean Sea to the east -- has enabled flora and fauna from both continents to thrive there.

Puntarenas is a lively town that hosts josefinos (residents of the capital city of San Jose) on holiday, as well as international tourists. The main drag, a wide walkway fronting the beach that's jam-packed with places to shop and eat, is even called Paseo de los Turistas -- loosely, \"\"stroll of the tourists.\"\" However, Costa Rica's real draw is its lush, natural beauty and biodiversity -- the \"\"rich coast\"\" after which it is named. Most cruise travelers use Puntarenas as a kickoff point for eco-adventures on the ground (horseback riding or hiking in the rainforest), in the water (kayaking, white-water rafting) and even in the air (zip-lining, an activity which originated here and is now popular throughout the Americas and the Caribbean).

"text": "\"Signature of the Father ( The last telegraph message by Samuel F. B. Morse )J. Casale - W2NISamuel Morse at the Academy of Music Many have heard the story about Samuel Morse's first telegraph message sent from Washington to Baltimore in 1844, but few have heard the story of what was considered to be his last message. This last message by Morse had a profound effect on all who copied it, and was considered an impressive technical demonstration of how the capabilities of the telegraph evolved in just 27 years. When Morse was approaching his eightieth birthday it was felt among the telegraph fraternity at Western Union that a formal testimonial in the U. S. should be given to honor him. Several foriegn countries had already recognized him with various decorations and medals. He previously received a gratuity of approximately 60,000 dollars from a special congress consisting of ten European countries for the nearly 1300 Morse sets they had in service. A day of celebration in New York City was planned for a tribute that included the dedication of a statute of Morse in Central Park, a boat excursion around Manhattan for telegraphers, and a reception at The Academy of Music. During the reception, Morse would bid farewell to the telegraph fraternity by sending a specially composed telegraph message world-wide directly from the Academy, ending with him at the key, sending his own signature. The funds required for this tribute were raised primarily by the telegraph community. Requests for contributions were made in The Journal of the Telegraph, a Western Union trade newspaper by James D. Reid, an author and editor long associated with the telegraph industry. L. G. Tillotson, a prominent telegraph instrument manufacturer protested the limiting of the fund to just Western Union employees."

The frustration that many felt was typified by Janie Esparza, one of the first passengers to get back on land. \"\" It was horrible. Horrible,\"\" Esparza told a scrum of reporters. \"\" The bathroom facilities were horrible and we could not flush toilets. No electricity and our rooms were in total darkness. Honestly, think that this ship should have ever sailed out. \"\" The Carnival Triumph, became a major media story, when it caught fire off the coast of Mexico.

Commissioned in 1955, she was the first completed supercarrier, and was the lead ship of her class. Unlike the successor Nimitz class, Forrestal and her class were conventionally powered. The other carriers of her class were USS Saratoga, USS Ranger and USS Independence. She surpassed the World War II Japanese carrier Shinano as the largest carrier yet built, and was the first designed to support jet aircraft. The ship was affectionately called \"\"The FID\"\", because her namesake was the first Secretary of Defense, FID standing for \"\" F irst I n D efense\"\". This is also the slogan on the ship's insignia and patch. She was also informally known in the fleet as the \"\"USS Zippo \"\" and \"\"Forest Fire\"\" or \"\"Firestal\"\" because of a number of highly publicized fires on board, most notably a 1967 fire in which 134 sailors died and 161 more were injured. Forrestal served for nearly four decades in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Pacific."

"text": "\"Home Cruise Styles River Cruises River Cruise Tips River Royale River Cruise Tips By Carolyn Spencer Brown Chief Content Strategist Save Share A river cruise is a wonderful way to relax, watch the world drift by at a leisurely pace and explore the towns, cities and countryside of Europe and exotic destinations around the globe. With more than 100 river ships launched over the past four years -- and 20 more debuting in 2017 -- along with an increasing number of river cruise lines and itineraries on offer, river cruising is the fastest-growing sector of the worldwide cruise market. This means there's never been a better time for first-timers to get onboard. Seasoned river cruisers can expand their horizons and experience On This Page Europe Asia Egypt South America The U. S. & Canada Updated March 26, 2018What to Expect Size: Whether you're in Europe, South America, Asia, the U. S. or Africa, river cruising shares similarities -- along with plenty of dissimilarities -- from ocean cruising. The first point is that ships are much smaller than ocean vessels, particularly in Europe, where they are restricted in width and length to fit into locks and sail beneath low bridges, and parts of Asia where they have to navigate shallow waters. Ports: Unlike ocean ships, river vessels visit a new port each day, sometimes even more than one; passengers can visit up to four countries in a week. Itineraries are port-intensive with a busy program of culture-rich shore excursions -- mostly included in the fare and some fee-extra. An actual full day onboard is uncommon, though there is always cruising time, including nighttime sailing on some itineraries. Food: All meals are included, with many lines offering complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner, plus unlimited tea and coffee. Some lines are all-inclusive and, in addition to an open bar, they also cover gratuities."

Eight million residents have been warned the worst is yet to come, as hundreds of thousands of shell-shocked Texans on the Gulf Coast began to pick up the pieces after Harvey destroyed homes and businesses, left several injured and the state facing a clean-up bill of $40billion. Texas utility companies said more than 338,000 were without power and the coastal town of Rockport, 30 miles north of Corpus Christi was hardest hit as the storm - which has weakened to a tropical storm with winds of 70mph - settled over southeast Texas. It will sit over the Lone Star State well into next week pounding hundreds of miles of coastline with life-threatening storm surges, causing deadly walls of water to move inland. Governor Greg Abbot warned Texans to stay away from rising water, noting that currents can be swifter than they appear. ' Turn around, don’t drown. Don’t risk your life,' he said at a news conference Saturday afternoon. ' The most important thing all Texans can do is to put your life and the protection of your life first and foremost. ' With streets flooded and strewn with power lines and debris, authorities warned the storm's most destructive powers were just beginning. Rainfall that will continue for days could dump more than five feet of water and inundate many communities, including dangerously flood-prone Houston, the nation's fourth-largest city."

"text": "A Day At The Beach: Cruise Line Private Islands Talk about a Caribbean cruise, and one of the first images that jumps to mind is a sun-drenched beach where children splash in the clear, blue water while adults watch and relax, alternating between sips from refreshing beverages and dips in the gentle surf. Quite understandably, people love the idea of a peaceful tropical paradise where the only pressing concern is how much sand is stuck to their feet when they slip back into their sandals. The idyllic beach day may be a favorite image associated with Caribbean cruising, but the fact is that the typical week-long cruise actually includes very little time dedicated to sun and sand. At major Caribbean ports like Nassau, St. Thomas or Cozumel, ships disgorge passengers for shopping, strolling or shore excursions. While some of the excursions offer activities that allow you to get wet, fairly few would be classified as “a day at the beach.” Enter the private island. Only a handful of cruise companies feature a long day docked at a private island, providing one of the favorite days of the trip for many passengers. In fact, private islands have proven to be so popular that some itineraries feature two stops at private islands. These islands are owned (or leased) and operated by the cruise lines for the exclusive use of their guests. Because private islands typically cater to only one ship a day, they serve as a perfect paradise that’s free of the crowds and the hassles that occasionally diminish the quality of visits to other ports of call."

Introduction Cruise visitors exploring Bermuda ;Since 1966, there has not been a regularly-scheduled passenger shipping service to Bermuda. From that time on, ships serving Bermuda year-round from both the USA and elsewhere in the world have been freight-only vessels. However, there are seasonal cruise ships to and from Bermuda, mostly from/to US ports. Of the seasonal cruise ships, many operate via Bermuda-incorporated and Bermuda-based companies/corporations. They are seasonal because Bermuda, not the Caribbean but 1200 miles north of it, has an appreciably cooler climate in the winter months."

While money doesn't grow on trees, increasingly it can be found somewhere else -- on the high seas. Call it an incentive, call it a bonus; whatever you want to call it, onboard credit lets you spend more freely with less guilt. You've paid your cruise fare, and now you can splurge on those enticing extras -- Swedish massage, specialty restaurant, an excursion to snorkel among shipwrecks -- without busting your budget. Not many need convincing as to why onboard credit -- money automatically deposited into your onboard account-- rocks, but finding out exactly how to get it and where you can spend it is a bit trickier.

Jump to Cruise Line Celebrity Cruisesor Cruise Ship Select Cruise Ship Go Celebrity Cruises Editor's Reviewby Paul Motter Overview Celebrity is a premium cruise line with beautiful ships and top-notch service, a step above parent company Royal Caribbean. In 1997, Celebrity Cruises was acquired by Royal Caribbean International, parent company to Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, and it now operates as a sister company under the RCI umbrella. While the acquisition was something of a disappointment for the Celebrity employees and their fans, it did keep Celebrity ships on their keels and has kept the line going strong. At the time the line had just three modest ships, the Galaxy, Horizon and Century. As od now only the Century remains in the fleet, the other two having been traded to some of the European subsidiaries of Royal Caribbean International. In mid- 2000, Celebrity launched the first of its four 91,000-ton \"\"Project Millennium\"\" ships ( four sister ships; Millennium, Infinity, Summit and Constellation), intended to establish Celebrity as a credible competitor to Crystal, but for a rather younger clientele. These ships signaled the beginning of a new era of technologically sophisticated cruise ships, including innovative, more environmentally friendly, gas turbine propulsion systems and pod propulsion systems that make a ship far more maneuverable."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search See also: List of ferry operators A cruise line is a company that operates cruise ships and markets cruises to the public. [ 1] Cruise lines are distinct from passenger lines which are primarily concerned with transportation of their passengers. Cruise lines have a dual character; they are partly in the transportation business, and partly in the leisure entertainment business, a duality that carries down into the ships themselves, which have both a crew headed by the ship's captain, and a hospitality staff headed by the equivalent of a hotel manager. Because of mergers and consolidations, a cruise line may also be a brand of a larger holding corporation. For example, as noted below, Carnival Cruise Line and Holland America Line are cruise lines within the larger parent corporation Carnival Corporation & plc.

Ramon Espinosa APTourism & Cruises7 price tags for cruising to Cuba (Hint: Carnival’s Fathom and Norwegian are the cheapest)By Chabeli [email protected] Linked In Google+Pinterest Reddit Print Order Reprint of this Story December 21, 2016 01:11 PMUpdated December 22, 2016 05:55 PMBy early next year, Americans will have seven cruise lines to choose from to book a trip to Cuba — and at every price point. The cheapest offering will be from Fathom, Carnival Corp.’s social impact brand, which was the first to sail to the island in May. The line announced Thursday it is adding a stop in Santiago de Cuba, located in southeast Cuba, on six upcoming sailings that also spend a full day and two partial days at Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic. Trips start at $599. Fathom’s trips, however, are centered around social impact. In the Dominican Republic, travelers will participate in volunteering opportunities, such as teaching English, and in Cuba they will be part of cultural exchange tours — much like the other cruise lines.$599 Starting price for Fathom’s seven-night trips to Santiago de Cuba and Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic Breaking News Be the first to know when big news breaks SIGN UPEarlier this week, Norwegian Cruise Line also announced its Cuba voyages aboard the largest ship sailing from the U. S. to the island. Trips on the 2,004-passenger Norwegian Sky for a series of five, four-day cruises to the island in May will start at $699 per person. The voyages, which include an overnight stay in Havana and a stop at Norwegian’s private Bahamian island Great Stirrup Cay, will leave Port Miami on May 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29. Guests on the Norwegian Sky will also enjoy one of the ship’s major perks: unlimited complimentary beverages."

"text": "\"By Chris Gray Faust Cruise Critic Managing Editor Save Share Updated September 21, 2017For the past 50 years, the answer has been no. But in 2015, Cuba emerged as one of the Caribbean's fastest-growing cruise destinations, thanks to President Barack Obama's determined attempts to reopen relations. Within months, a handful of cruise companies began to offer Cuba sailings for Americans, under a \"\"people to people\"\" license encouraging cultural and humanitarian exchanges, and by early 2017, most mainstream cruise lines jumped into the mix. It remains to be seen whether President Donald Trump's June 2017 executive order limiting people to people travel to groups (as opposed to self-certification) will have an impact on demand for Cuba cruising. The cruise lines currently offer shore excursion programs that meet the U. S. guidelines for travel. Here are some things Americans should know about sailing to this long off-limits country. Is there still an embargo on travel to Cuba for U. S. citizens? Yes, although it's much easier to go since President Obama used his executive powers to normalize relations with Cuba in early January 2015. Before, official travel to Cuba was restricted to certain types of trips. Individuals had to apply, and they could only go with licensed tour operators."

Christopher Columbus landed on its shores in 1493, declaring it beautiful and naming it Puerto Plata, the Silver Port, to mark its shimmering waters. Today, it's best known as a lively resort area and a popular stopping-off point for cruise-ship passengers. Travelers visit Puerto Plata in great numbers, lured by the promise of sun, beautiful beaches and, frankly, economically priced all-inclusive packages. Puerto Plata certainly has its charms. There are two parks - Parque Luperon and Parque Central. Where Parque Luperon is a quiet and shady green space, Parque Central is the gathering place for locals, surrounded as it is by the City Hall and Palace of Justice. An absolute must is a seven-minute cable car ride to the top of Mount Isabel, 2559 feet high. From the summit, there are panoramic views of the north coast as well as a luscious botanical gardens, restaurant to revive spirits flagging from sightseeing and a statue of Christ with outstretched welcoming arms, reminiscent of the one in Rio de Janeiro.

"text": "What are TPAs or Third Party Administrators? TPA or Third Party Administrator (TPA) is a company/agency/organisation holding license from Insurance Regulatory Development Authority (IRDA) to process claims - corporate and retail policies in addition to providing cashless facilities as an outsourcing entity of an insurance company. Search for Health Insurance TPAs function as an intermediary between the insurance provider and the insured. The stakeholders involved are as follows: Insurance companies Healthcare providers Policyholders Introduced by the IRDA in 2001, TPAs handle various pertinent aspects of insurance as listed below: Processing of claims and settlement includes the following: Accepting intimations Approving cashless claims Disbursing the claims Utilization review Provider network Enrolment Premium collection Cashless processing (if and when a policyholder is admitted to a listed hospital of an insurance provider, the latter pays the bill)Value added services such as the following: Ambulance services Specialised consultation Availability of beds24-hour toll-free helplines Lifestyle management Wellbeing programmes Medicine supplies Health facilities Database maintenance According to experts, providing cashless hospitalization of the insured should be the primary service offered by TPAs. It is important to note that some insurance companies have a separate department which performs the functions of TPA instead of outsourcing it to another entity. Need for Third Party Administrators: According to industry observers, TPAs can bring in the following changes: Greater efficiency/quality (delivery of services)Improved standardisation (procedures and due diligence)Increase knowledge base of healthcare services New management system Greater penetration of health insurance Minimize costs/expenditure Develop protocols to streamline investigation and avoid unnecessary delays Pave way for lower insurance premiums All the same, there is much discrepancy between the aims and the ground realities of functioning of TPAs. As a result, the jury is still out on the efficacy of TPAs in the growing and complex health insurance sector in the country. The institutionalisation of TPAs, therefore, leaves a lot to be desired. Revenue model of Third Party Administrators: There is a view that the organisation and revenue generation model of TPAs will determine the extent of their success. TPA’s major revenue comes in the form of fees or commission on premium, which is standardised by the IRDA."

Seen as an outsourcing of claim processing, TPA processes claims for both retail and corporate policies. The risk of loss incurred remains with the insurance company. The insurance company usually contracts a reinsurance company to share its risk. An insurance company hires TPA to manage its claims processing, provider network and utilization review. While some TPA operates as units of insurance companies, most are often independent. TPA is also involved in handling employee benefit plans such as processing retirement plans. Handling healthcare or employee benefit claims requires using a specialized set of manpower and technology, therefore hiring a TPA for the same is a more cost effective method. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDA) defines TPA as a Third Party Administrator who, for the time being, is licensed by the Authority, and is engaged, for a fee or remuneration, in the agreement with an insurance company, for the provision of health services."

A planned bridge to the airport was cancelled in 2003, leading to lawsuits between Deluce and the City of Toronto. The airline lost the case in court but the idea for the airline remained. With the compensation received from the Toronto Port Authority for the lawsuit, REGCO bought the island airport terminal used by Air Canada Jazz and terminated Air Canada 's access. Porter has expanded its operations since 2006, adding more destinations and planes. Porter opened a new, larger passenger terminal at the island airport in March 2010. In 2013, Porter made a proposal to expand Toronto Island airport to allow jets."

MIA offers a number of transportation options for passengers who would like to get to the cruise port right from their flight. These choices include a taxi, which costs about $25 for a trip to the cruise terminal. A shared airport shuttle that travels directly to the port is also available, and the cost is $14 per person. Reserved private transportation, like limousines and passenger vans, is also available, and though it is more expensive, it can be the least stress-inducing choice.

Palm Beach International Airport, farther north and also a medium-sized airport is another choice. 1. Miami International Airport MIA, 9 miles NW of Miami, south-east Florida, is the third-busiest airport in the U. S. It hosts all major airlines, has direct flights from most major cities and is within a short drive to Miami hotels. However, it is crowded with intermittent gridlocks, harder to get around, and hosts fewer discount carriers. That said, passport and customs control for International Arrivals has improved considerably in recent years, with a more efficient procedure to move passengers through quickly. Whether you head for the Everglades or for the Florida Keys, or merely for Miami Beach or South Beach, transportation is just a few steps away.

Disney selects the airline and flight times for you, but does not provide the details of your flight until closer to your departure date. Many guests like to be in control of their chosen airline, schedule, connections and fares and choose to book air on their own. Depending on your point of origin, we’d recommend flying in the day prior to departure. This removes the worry of missing the ship's sailing if there are flight delays. This is especially important during the winter months, when flight cancellations due to weather, are common. There are a number of sites for checking airline fares, including Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline, Kayak, and Yapta. On most travel sites, you can sign up to be alerted when discount fares are available. You should also check the official airline website, because you might get better pricing and flight times by booking directly with the airline. Keep checking on your flight even after it's booked."

"text": "\"Microsoft sign is pictured at its Finnish headquarters in Espoo Thomson Reuters HELSINKI (Reuters) - When U. S. software giant Microsoft bought Nokia's struggling mobile phone business last year, the inhabitants of Salo - a town of 54,000 in southern Finland - thought the move would revive the local economy. But their hopes were crushed last week when Microsoft announced it would close Nokia's former product development unit in the town, putting all 1,100 jobs at risk. Last year the U. S. company had said it could hire more staff in Salo. The decline of Finland's electronics industry as Nokia lost competitiveness against peers Apple and Samsung, along with falling global demand for paper products and EU sanctions on neighboring Russia, have entrenched the Scandinavian country in a three-year recession. Towns like Salo, home to one of Nokia's first factories set up in the 1970s, have been particularly hard hit. Prime Minister Juha Sipila called Microsoft's decision last week \"\"a big blow,\"\" and visited Salo on Monday to hear from locals how the government could best help the town. A former engineer and telecoms executive, Sipila was elected in April on a promise to balance Finland's budget, cut bureaucracy and lower taxes for small companies. He has advocated the role of entrepreneurship in getting Finland back on track, but that may be a tough transition for an economy that became so dependent on Nokia. Ten years ago, Nokia's operations in Salo employed 5,000 people and even in 2008, over a fifth of all jobs in the area were within information technology. Today Salo's unemployment rate stands at 15 percent, well above the national rate of 9.7 percent, following the closure of a Nokia factory in 2012 and previous Microsoft layoffs."

"text": "\"Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer stock 1020One of the most enticing \"\"what-ifs\"\" of recent years has come true: Microsoft has purchased Nokia's devices and services unit, bringing the Lumia lineup under the Redmond roof. The move unites Windows Phone 8 with its biggest hardware supporter, giving the company the integrated mobile offering it's been looking for with Surface and other devices. When the deal closes in the first quarter of 2014, Microsoft will pay € 3.79 billion for Nokia's business, plus another € 1.65 billion to license its portfolio of patents. ( The € 5.44-billion total is considerably less than Microsoft paid for Skype in 2011.) 32,000 people are expected to transfer from Nokia to Microsoft, including 18,300 that are \"\"directly involved in manufacturing. \"\" The purchase comes on the heels of what appeared to be a failed acquisition in June, at which point it seemed conversations had broken off entirely. Now the two come together, in what outgoing Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer called \"\"a bold step into the future.\"\" In an email, Ballmer cited the Lumia 1020 as an example of what the companies could do together, but said the phone hadn't caused the marketshare bump it deserved. \"\" Now is the time to build on this momentum and accelerate our share and profits in phones,\"\" he wrote. Asha will be an on-ramp to Windows Phone A driving force behind the sale seems to be Nokia's low-end Asha brand, which Microsoft has acquired outright."

In spite of selling its device business to Microsoft earlier this year and swearing off putting its name on smartphones until 2016, Nokia wishes to be seen as the same driver of mobile innovation that it’s always been. Finland’s most beloved company will continue \"\"bringing the magic of technology\"\" to the masses, and the N1 is just \"\" the first of many \"\" new devices coming that will feature the iconic Nokia branding. Instead of entering retirement as a stable but boring networking company the way that Ericsson did, Nokia has decided to keep competing in the cutthroat world of mobile devices. But it’s doing it on its own, rather unique, terms. Let’s start with what Nokia isn’t. Nokia is no longer a manufacturer of consumer devices. The N1 is the product of a licensing agreement with Foxconn that will see the Taiwanese company produce and distribute the tablet while paying royalties to Nokia for its design and brand. If that sounds like a familiar ploy to exploit the dying embers of a good brand, that’s because it is. The storied names of Polaroid and Kodak have been repeatedly dragged through the mud by money-grabbing licensing deals producing irredeemably bad devices."

"text": "Great Speculations Buys, holds and hopes Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Investing 9/20/2013 @ 12:47PM 26,074 views How Much Is The New Nokia Worth? Trefis Team , Contributor Nokia’s deal with Microsoft may leave it without its iconic mobile device division, but the move unlocks a lot of value for the shareholders. In return for $5 billion, Nokia will be able to wash its hands off a handset business that was proving hard to turn around in the face of rising competition from Android in the emerging markets. For another $2.2 billion, Nokia will grant Microsoft access to its lucrative patent portfolio for the next 10 years. What sweetens the transaction further is that Nokia gets to keep its patents and add other licensees as part of the deal. It is likely that some shareholders might still prefer Nokia to continue on its turnaround quest which could arguably unlock a lot more value. But considering what the market was valuing Nokia’s stock at just a few weeks ago, they are likely to not be too many. Before the deal was announced, Nokia was trading at a market capitalization of about $14.7 billion. By our estimates, Nokia’s non-handset divisions, including cash, accounted for about 75% of its $18 billion fair value before the deal."

"text": "INDY Tech Nokia Lumia 735 review: last phone means Nokia goes out with a bang The Nokia name is being retired as it becomes Microsoft Devices. But the Lumia 735 is a fitting last release from a much-loved brand, says David Phelan David Phelan Thursday 22 January 2015 13:09 GMTClick to follow The Independent Tech What does Nokia mean to you? Chances are one of your first mobiles would have been from the Finnish brand and if so it was probably reliable, well-designed and with a battery that lasted for ages. True, there were occasional off-the-wall Nokias that looked like they’d been designed in clown school, with nuttily arranged keypads or preposterous shapes. But nearly every Nokia was a classy phone. The company got left behind when Apple ushered in the bright new world of the smartphone. Apple pressed its advantage, as did Android phone makers, while Nokia flailed. Eventually, it settled on making Windows Phone handsets and more recently Microsoft bought the handset part of the company, renaming it Microsoft Devices. So the recently released Lumia 735 turns out to be the last Lumia phone with the name Nokia in the title. Thankfully, it’s a corker."

[ 6] [7] The phone has 4G LTE support and was released in April, 2012. The Lumia 900 was the flagship smartphone of the Lumia range until the release of its successor, the Lumia 920.

S. carrier AT&T to carry its devices. However, AT&T demanded a device with support for LTE connectivity—which Windows Phone did not yet support because Microsoft felt it was not a high priority yet. Citing the importance of the U. S. market to the wireless industry, Nokia ultimately collaborated with AT&T, Microsoft, and chipset developer Qualcomm to accelerate the development of LTE support for the Windows Phone platform. At the same time, Nokia quickly produced prototypes for a new smartphone, the Lumia 900—which would be tailored for the American market and be one of the first Windows Phone devices with support for LTE. After only 10 months of development (a considerably faster pace than normal), the Lumia 900 was unveiled during a Nokia press conference at International CES in January 2012. The HTC Titan II, another LTE-enabled Windows Phone device, would also be unveiled during an AT&T event at CES.

Nokia N81, Nokia 5310, Nokia N95, Nokia N82, Nokia 6120 are some of the fake Nokia phones in the Philippines market. So next time you are buying a Nokia phone from Philippines or some other place, which is famous for its shady mobile handset bazaars, try one of these and stop getting cheated: Price of a fake Nokia is almost half or one-third of its original counterpart. Abnormally lightweight phones can be fake, so beware, for humans light weights are in but not for phones Fake mobile don’t have the blue colored 12-month warranty sticker. If the phone has the sticker then use the other ways to identify fakes (this is my version)Unavailability of or poorly printed Nokia Care tamper proof warranty stickers are sign of a fake Nokia mobile handset Genuine Nokia phones have a tamper-proof label at the back and they also have tamper-proof warranty seal Original Nokia phone have batteries with hologram showing Nokia “Connecting people” logo and “Original Enhancements” written on them. If you slant the hologram left, right, down, and up you will see 1,2,3 and 4 dots on each side So next time you buy a Nokia mobile, make sure you do all these tests.

"text": "\"Homepage » Technology » Block Stolen Mobile Phones Using IMEI Number Block Stolen Mobile Phones Using IMEI Number By Soumya Pratihari - May, 5th 2009IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identification. All mobile handsets are assigned unique IMEI numbers and no two mobile handsets share the same IMEI number, even by mistake! You can find your mobile handset’s IMEI number by typing *#06# on your mobile. Since this number is unique, it will help us in locating your lost or stolen mobile handset. For now, note down this IMEI number and keep in a safe place. You can also find your mobile IMEI number on your mobile handset packet cover. How to block your lost or stolen mobile handset using IMEI number When you switch on our mobile phone, your mobile SIM card tries to connect with any available network. Once it finds a supported network it tries to build a network connection between your mobile handset and the nearest tower. During this connection negotiation, your SIM transfers some internal information to the network operator such as your mobile IMEI number, mobile model, version etc. This means your mobile operator keeps the record of your mobile handset number each time you try to switch on your mobile handset and use their service."

A little blue penguin (Eudyptula minor) weighs about 3 pounds, whereas an emperor penguin can reach 100 pounds or more. Penguins live on a seafood diet, which varies with the changes in seasons. Their remarkable diving abilities allow them to obtain seafood throughout the ocean. Krill Krill are very small shrimplike creatures, about 2 inches long, found throughout the Earth's oceans. Krill congregate in groups so large that they can be discerned from space. Most life forms in the Antarctic would disappear without krill in the ecosystem. Hundreds of different animals rely on krill as a dietary staple, including macaroni, Adelie and chinstrap penguins. Fish All penguins eat small fish, some more than others."

They live in extremely cold environments, so it’s easy to see why they can get very hungry. These gorgeous little birds like to eat kill, which is a type of crustacean that resembles a shrimp. Penguins also enjoy eating various types of fish and squids. However, some species prefer other types of food. Many of the smaller penguin species live in Antarctica, so they eat mostly squids and krill. Some of the species that live further north prefer to eat more fish. The Adelie penguins eat large amounts of small krill, but chinstraps like to forage for larger krill. The king and emperor penguins eat a diet that consists mostly of squids and different types of fish. The amount of food consumed by a penguin depends on the amount of food present in his natural environment."

"text": "Sardines live in large schools that may contain thousands of fish. They typically feed on plankton and are close to the bottom of the food chain; many different kinds of predators eat sardines, including humans. Sardines fall victim to predation from other fish, marine mammals and birds, often being taken in huge numbers due to the concentration of large quantities of sardines in a single area. Cetaceans: Whales and Dolphins Some of the largest creatures in the ocean eat sardines -- they are a favorite meal of some of the baleen whales that eat by straining their food rather than biting it. When feeding, whales, such as the humpback and the minke, open their mouths wide and scoop up huge quantities of sardines, then squeeze out the excess water before swallowing the fish. Many dolphins and porpoises, such as the black dolphin and the harbor porpoise, also consume sardines, typically by hunting them down and then grabbing individual fish. Pinnipeds: Seals and Sea Lions Sardines form an essential part of the diet of many pinnipeds like the Mediterranean monk seal and the Galapagos sea lion. These mammals feed in shallow waters near the coast where it can be harder for the sardines to get away and easier for the hunters to corner them. Depending on what’s available, seals and sea lions animals may also add octopus, squid, eels and other fish to their diets, typically chasing after and grabbing the prey item and then using their teeth to capture and kill their food. Other Fish Many other kinds of fish eat sardines; they are prey for almost anything that’s bigger than they are."

Other flightless birds include rheas, cassowaries, kiwis, ostriches, and emus. Most flightless birds live in the Southern Hemisphere. [ 1]Most scientists agree that there are 17 species of penguins. Of the 17 species, 13 are either threatened or endangered, with some on the brink of extinction. [ 6]The Erect-crested Penguin ( Eudyptes sclateri) has lost approximately 70% of its population over the last 20 years. The Galapagos Penguin ( Spheniscus mendiculus) has lost over 50% since the 1970s, and their chance of becoming extinct this century is 30%. The most common threats to all penguin survival are pollution, loss of habitat by human encroachment, commercial fishing, oil dumping, algae blooms, and global warming. [ 3]Generally, penguins are not sexually dimorphic, meaning male and female penguins look alike. ["

Its common name reflects the brilliant greens and blues that adorn the male’s exoskeleton (shell). Females are also brightly colored but are mostly red. Peacock mantis shrimp are powerful hunters, feeding on hard-shelled invertebrates of all kinds and even some fishes. They are well known for the extremely fast punching motion that they do with their front appendages to kill and break apart their prey. This punch is one of the fastest movements in the animal kingdom and is strong enough to break through an aquarium’s glass wall. Peacock mantis shrimp use this behavior to break open snails and other mollusks and to completely dismember crabs, shrimps, and other crustaceans. Peacock mantis shrimp are known to have extremely complex eyes, and can see in more wavelengths of color than even mammals. Under special lights/cameras, scientists have demonstrated that the already colorful exoskeletons of this species are actually even more elaborate when viewed by each other. Peacock mantis shrimp dig U-shaped burrows in the sand near the reef’s edge from which they venture out to hunt and to attract mates."

Read on to find out more about the everyday life of these birds and how they differ with different places. \"\" It's practically impossible to look at a penguin and feel angry. \"\" ―Joe Moore Penguins are well-adapted to the cold and marine environment. These birds have a waterproof coat of thick feathers and a distinct layer of fat to withstand the harsh climatic conditions of Antarctica. Owing to their agility, they make excellent swimmers, with some species recorded as able to dive to an astounding depth of 500 meters. Not all penguins are indigenous to the Antarctic; for instance: one species, the Galapagos Penguin, is found near the equator. Penguins fall under the umbrella family Spheniscidae. The living species are found in diverse localities under different conditions."

As their ancestors acclimatised to deep-sea environments, physical alterations for swimming and diving meant that they lost their ability to fly. Characteristics Penguins have black and white feathers and waddle about everywhere, which most of us find amusing. They tend to spend the majority of their time in the water looking for food. They have a tendency to dive as well as flap their little wings when they’re in the sea, which is deceiving and makes it look like they are flying. Physical Appearance Penguins have a body shape that appears like a torpedo. It has been designed to allow them to swim efficiently, which they do at around fifteen miles per hour on average. Types of Penguin There are sixteen diverse types of penguin species that currently live in our world. Each one belongs to a bigger group called Genus and all living penguins consist of six Genera – the plural form of genus. The name of each group and types of penguins that belong in their category are as follows: Aptenodytes – Emperor and King penguins belong to this category."

The primary food source is generally fish, in particular the antarctic silverfish. Other fish, glacial and hooked squids and antarctic krill also regularly feature in the diet. Feeding may be in open water or on the underside of the sea ice where many of the small fish such as the Bald Notothen are found. Adult birds can dive up to depths of 500 meters and for longer than 15 minutes but will presumably remain much closer to the surface when food is plentiful there. Speeds of less than 10 km/h are usual, yet nearly 20 km/h can be reached over short distances. Apparently, the Emperor has been observed to blow bubbles into cracks under the ice to flush fish out of them. Emperor penguins often coordinate their diving and appear to hunt cooperatively in certain situations."

As the colorful hermit crab ages, it must find new, larger shells that can accommodate its growing body. Colorful hermit crabs are foragers that eat a variety of animal and plant prey and scavenge for dead and decaying organic matter. This species lives on sandy and muddy soft bottoms in deep habitats (like Patagonian fjords) and will eat just about it anything that it can find. Few species eat colorful hermit crabs, as they are fairly well protected by their shells. Colorful hermit crabs reproduce via internal fertilization, when a male passes a packet of sperm to a female.

Toothed whales as the name suggest are whales that are born with teeth and also include all species of dolphin and porpoise. These marine mammals are considered the hunters of the species. Both the number of teeth a toothed whale possess (cetaceans can have anywhere from 2 – 240 teeth or more) and the purpose of their teeth can vary from one species to the next. For example some toothed whales use their teeth to bite and/or chew their prey while others swallow their food whole and only use their teeth as a form of self defense or to show dominance, especially during mating season. Because toothed whales possess teeth they are more likely to hunt and attack their prey when compared to baleen whales, which lack teeth. Depending on the species toothed whales can eat everything from small fish and shrimp to large squid and octopus."

Together, these three species are known as the brushtail penguins. The Adélie penguin is a relatively small species with a black back and head, a white front, and a characteristic white ring around the eyes. Though Adélie penguins live mostly on the continent of Antarctica (and a few associated islands), they mate and nest on rocky shores, rather than on the ice. Both parents take turns caring for a clutch of two eggs that are laid in a stone nest. While one parent incubates the eggs, the other parent feeds. Adelie penguins are foraging predators that will take many different prey items, but their preferred food source is krill. Their reliance on this particular prey source, however, is a relatively recent phenomenon that seems to align with the decline of other krill predators (e.g., fur seals and baleen whales) as a result of overhunting. Regardless, the Adélie penguin’s current diet consistently includes several krill species. When individuals are not nesting, they are known to undergo long, winter migrations in search of food, staying close to the expanding ice edge and using the ice to rest."

There are seventeen species in all but the African Penguin is the only one to inhabit the African continent and its inshore islands. It used to be known as the Jackass Penguin, on account of the braying sounds which it makes on land, but the name 'African Penguin' has now been adopted to distinguish it from the Jackass Penguin found in South America, which is slightly different in appearance and behaviour. Another name that is occasionally used is the Blackfooted Penguin. The closest relatives of the African penguin are, in fact, the Humboldt and Magellanic penguins of South America and the Galapagos penguins of the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador. Penguins are ancient birds, probably evolving about 65 million years ago, at the time that dinosaurs became extinct. Since penguins are well adapted to the cold, the South American and African penguins feel the heat on land and have evolved various ways to cope with the sun. African penguins have a black stripe curving across the top of the chest. They are insulated by air trapped between their feathers. This makes the birds extremely vulnerable when they are moulting, which they do annually, and for this period of about three weeks (at Boulders about November) they are land-bound, getting thinner and more bedraggled until the moulting process is completed."

The circum‐Pacific belt (also called the Rim of Fire) follows the rim of the Pacific Ocean and hosts over 80 percent of the world's shallow and medium‐depth earthquakes and 100 percent of the deep earthquakes. Other earthquake zones are the Mediterranean‐Himalayan belt and the midoceanic ridges that split the crust at the bottom of the world's oceans. Plate boundaries and associated earthquakes. Distribution plots reveal that many earthquakes are associated with andesitic volcanic action and oceanic trenches that occur over subduction zones in the circum‐Pacific belt. Oceanic trenches are narrow, deep troughs that mark where two plates converge, usually along the edge of a continent or island are where andesitic volcanoes typically occur. Earthquakes originate in Benioff zones, zones that slope downward from the trenches and under the overlying rocks at 30 to 60 degrees. Benioff zones are closely associated with the subduction of a crustal plate below an adjacent plate. Almost all earthquakes occur at the edges of the crustal plates."

Mount Etna is also situated on continental crust yet shows oceanic basalt affinities 1, 2, 3, with isotopic ratios of helium and carbon suggesting that it is fed by the same type of mantle source as are mid-ocean ridge basalts 4, 5. Here we propose that although this giant volcano is not subduction-related—in the sense that it is not part of the magmatic arc—its formation is strongly related to the nearby subduction process. Based on a three-dimensional model of the tectonic plates in this region, we propose that the voluminous melting under Mount Etna results from ‘suction’ of asthenospheric material from under the neighbouring African plate. Such lateral flow is expected when descending slabs migrate backwards in the mantle (rollback) leaving low-pressure regions behind 6, 7 them. This was previously identified at the northern end of the Tonga arc (southwest Pacific Ocean) where such flow feeds arc 8 or backarc 9 magmatism. Here we show that in the south Tyrrhenian subduction zone, slab rollback pulls asthenospheric material much farther along the plate contact, reaching the base of the crust in the forearc region. This explains the voluminous melting under Mount Etna and also the recent uplift of the forearc region (the Calabrian peninsula) 10. Main Figure 1 shows that Mount Etna is situated a little to the side of the Ionian slab, rather than directly above it. Also, it does not face the magmatic arc (Aeolian islands) but is situated a little forward, in line with the forearc region (Calabria), where the top of the slab, at ∼ 70 km depth, is too shallow to produce melting."

The paleomagnetic proof of continental drift ( plate tectonics) and the discovery of sea-floor spreading set off a scientific revolution in geology in the 1960s and 1970s. Geologists realised that many of their existing interpretations of global geology, based on the premise that the positions of continents and oceans remain fixed in position through time, were simply wrong! Researchers dropped what they were doing and turned their attention to studying the broader implications of continental drift and sea-floor spreading. It became clear that these phenomena required that the outer shell of the Earth was divided into rigid plates that moved relative to each other. New studies clarified the meaning of a plate, defined the types of plate boundaries, constrained plate motions, related plate motions to earthquakes and volcanoes, showed how plate interactions can explain mountain belts and seamount chains, and outlined the history of past plate motions. From these, the modern theory of plate tectonics evolved. Below, we first describe lithosphere plates and their boundaries, and then outline the basic principles of plate tectonics theory."

"text": "Earth's Crustal Plates Introduction Crustal plates form the outer layer of the Earth. There are seven major plates and many smaller plates. These tectonic plates are formed from the Earth's crust and uppermost part of the mantle. Types of tectonic plates There are two types of tectonic plates. Continental plates are made primarily of granitic rocks and are much thicker and older. Oceanic plates are thinner and younger. Together these plates form the lithosphere. Earth's Tectonic Plates, USGSContinental plates Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks form the continents. The basement rocks of the continents are granitic. The minerals in granitic rocks are lighter than the oceanic crust."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Science Everything You Need to Know About the Lithosphere Discover Geology Basics Share Flipboard Email Print ANDRZEJ WOJCICKI / Getty Imagesby Andrew Alden Updated August 20, 2017In the field of geology, what is the lithosphere? The lithosphere is the brittle outer layer of the solid Earth. The plates of plate tectonics are segments of the lithosphere. Its top is easy to see -- it's at the Earth's surface -- but the base of the lithosphere is in a transition, which is an active area of research. Flexing the Lithosphere The lithosphere is not totally rigid, but slightly elastic. It flexes when loads are placed on it or removed from it. Ice-age glaciers are one type of load. In Antarctica, for example, the thick ice cap has pushed the lithosphere well below sea level today. In Canada and Scandinavia, the lithosphere is still unflexing where the glaciers melted about 10,000 years ago. Here are some other types of loading: Construction of volcanoes Deposition of sediment Rise in sea level Formation of large lakes and reservoirs Here are other examples of unloading: Erosion of mountains Excavation of canyons and valleys Drying up of large water bodies Lowering of sea level The flexing of the lithosphere from these causes is relatively small (usually much less than a kilometer [km]), but measurable."

"text": "\"See this page in: Bulgarian, Spanish B efore the 1960s, most geologists were adamant that the continents were stationary. A handful promoted the notion that the continents had moved (continental drift), but they were accused by the majority of indulging in pseudo-scientific fantasy. Today, that opinion has reversed—plate tectonics, incorporating continental drift, is the ruling theory. Interestingly, it was a creationist, Antonio Snider, who in 1859 first proposed horizontal movement of continents catastrophically during the Genesis flood. 1 The statements in Genesis 1:9-10 about the gathering together of the seas in one place, which implies there was one landmass, influenced his thinking. Geologists put forward several lines of evidence that the continents were once joined together and have moved apart, including: The fit of the continents (taking into account the continental shelves). Correlation of fossil types across ocean basins. A zebra-striped pattern of magnetic reversals parallel to mid-ocean floor rifts, in the volcanic rock formed along the rifts, implying seafloor spreading along the rifts. Seismic observations interpreted as slabs of former ocean floor now located inside the Earth. The current theory that incorporates seafloor spreading and continental drift is known as “plate tectonics.”"

The forces that rage inside the planet have fractured this brittle layer. Some of these fractures, called faults, lie beneath the surface of the crust. Other faults, however, have ruptured the surface, cracking the crust into various-sized blocks of rock. These blocks dip and rise along faults in response to pressure underground. One block may move up while the other moves down. Sometimes the movement is enough to form valleys or mountains. Other times that movement is not vertical but horizontal, as one block slips along the fault relative to the block on the other side. Movement of crustal blocks along faults may be regular and slow or sporadic and sudden. When two blocks are forced to move against each other but are locked into position, stress builds up."

The major subdivisions of the Earth are: (from inside to outside)1) the inner core (mostly solid iron) 2) the outer core (mostly liquid iron) 3) the Mantle (solid Fe/Mg silicates) 4) the Crust (solid K/Na silicates) 5) an outer film of water and gases (hydrosphere & atmosphere)How do we know this?

"text": "Abstract In the western United States lies one of the largest and highest mountain ranges on earth. Composed of vast quantities of Granitic rock the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the surrounding topography have distinct geologic structures which point to a period of intense deformation and magmatism as the region was formed. Through the analysis of rock types, chemical composition of those rocks, and the actual structures visible in the Sierra Nevada region and further east, it is apparent that many millions of years ago there was a collision between lithospheric plates on the western margin of the North American Plate. This collision caused subduction of the oceanic Farallon plate creating vast masses of magma which rose and crystallized to form the core of the mountain range we see today. In addition to the periods of magmatic intrusion the region went through several different phases of geological setting presenting itself in the sedimentary and metasedimentary rock structures visible today. Geographic & Geologic Setting The Sierra Nevada mountain range is the longest and highest such range in the lower 48 United States. The maximum range of elevation is 4400 meters in the south to 2700 meters in the north with a total length approaching 643km (Hill 2006). The range is surrounded by a tectonically active zone on the west coast of North America, primarily in the state of California, with small portions lying within Nevada. Currently to the west of the range lies a large transform plate boundary, the San Andreas Fault, which is still affecting the size and scope of the range today. This fault is the catalyst for many of the well known earthquakes in the California area during modern history (Bolt 2006)."

The growth has been rapid and widespread, with a slew of new digital currencies, related startups, and exchanges entering the field each week. As investors and speculators have become increasingly interested in the area, hackers and criminals have also taken note. The more money there is in the cryptocurrency space, the more incentive there is for criminals to try to take advantage of investors pouring their assets into it. The result has been, in part, an increase in the number of hacking attempts focused on cryptocurrency exchanges, those central hubs where investors exchange assets and which typically hold millions of dollars of funds at any given time. ( See more: Can Bitcoin Be Hacked?) Now, a new type of digital currency exchange is emerging, and investors are hopeful that it might help prevent hacking thefts. Decentralized Exchanges Reduce Likelihood of Coin Compromisation While many traditional cryptocurrency exchanges store private keys for users on central servers, these have become increasingly susceptible to hacks. If a hacker gains access to a user's private key, he can access that user's cryptocurrency wallet and easily transfer the contents to his own secure account. Decentralized exchanges, on the other hand, do not store any coins or private keys on central servers, according to a report by bitcoinist.com."

Contrary to some people’s perception these digital currencies do not compete against each other, but rather complement one another. It is worth noting that no single cryptocurrency is 100 % perfect in terms of providing anonymity and security (yet), and that is why a myriad of digital currencies are coming up often with the aim of improving these shortcomings. One digital currency that is fast gaining popularity is Feathercoin. WHAT IS FEATHERCOIN? Shortened as FTC, the Feathercoin is a secure and unique cryptocurrency that uses the proof of work system to facilitate transactions. It was created and launched in 2 0 1 3 by Peter Bushnell, making it one of the oldest digital currencies. Feathercoin is an upgrade of both the Bitcoin and the Litecoin with most of its features borrowing heavily from the Litecoin. However, it has numerous features in comparison to other cryptocurrencies, making it more reliable. WHY THE FEATHERCOIN CRYPTOCURRENCY?"

"text": "Pixabay via Google Images How to Invest in Cryptocurrency Blockchain technology has been heating up in the past several months, thanks in large part to the surge in Bitcoin's price since early May. The cryptocurrency skyrocketed from less than $1,000 in March to an all-time high of $4,440 on August 14. Given this meteoric rise, it's no surprise that investors are clamoring to figure out how to break into the Bitcoin marketplace. But there are many other cryptocurrencies (such as Ethereum) and blockchain companies on the stock exchange where investors can funnel their money. However, investing in a cryptocurrency is different than investing in a regular stock. When you invest in a company, you're buying shares of that company and essentially own an extremely small percentage of it. When you invest in Bitcoin or Ethereum, you receive digital tokens that serve different purposes. With Bitcoin, you get decentralized currency that also happens to be partially anonymous. With Ethereum, you get a piece of the power that runs decentralized apps and smart contracts. Trading cryptocurrencies occurs on dedicated exchanges. Larger exchanges like GDAX, Kraken, Bitfinex, and Gemini typically offer solid volume to trade cryptocurrencies through bank transfers or credit cards."

The fourth largest digital currency by market capitalization has gone positively vertical this year, with Litecoin prices breaching $320 for the first time Tuesday. Since the start of 2017, Litecoin has risen 7,291% against bitcoin’s 1,731%. So why the rise?

Alex Hern explains what they are – and whether this is the end of ‘real’ money Alex Hern@alexhern Mon 29 Jan 2018 01.00 EST12.01 ESTThis article is over 2 months old829Bitcoin – the currency of choice for online drug dealers and cybercriminals. Photograph: Guardian Design Team What is a cryptocurrency? Is it like bitcoin? In a word, yes. Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency, and is still the biggest, but in the eight years since it was created pretenders to the throne have come along. All of them have the same basic underpinnings: they use a “blockchain”, a shared public record of transactions, to create and track a new type of digital token – one that can only be made and shared according to the agreed-upon rules of the network, whatever they may be. But the flourishing ecosystem has provided a huge amount of variation on top of that. Some cryptocurrencies, such as Litecoin or Dogecoin, fulfil the same purpose as bitcoin – building a new digital currency – with tweaks to some of the details (making transactions faster, for instance, or ensuring a basic level of inflation). Others, such as Ethereum or Bat, take the same principle but apply it to a specific purpose: cloud computing or digital advertising in the case of those two."

Due to the steady growth of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum etc, even most non-technical investors are investing in them. That’s why the prices of cryptocurrencies are reaching record-breaking highs. In this world of cryptocurrencies which is hugely dominated by bitcoin one of the most promising platform is Ripple XRP. Ripple is an Internet-based real-time gross settlement system built upon a path-breaking decentralized open source Internet protocol. And XRP is the native cryptocurrency of the protocol. Although it is a fairly new cryptocurrency, XRP is performing pretty well. With backings from big companies like UBS, Uni Credit, Santander, and validators like MIT, the future of XRP is nothing but bright. But like every other decentralized online currency, there is a need for proper exchanges and wallets for XRP. So in this article, I am going to cover not only the best ripple wallets of 2018."

"text": "Style Grandpa Had a Pension. This Generation Has Cryptocurrency. Future Tense By TEDDY WAYNE AUG. 3, 2017James Heimer Most readers have probably heard of Bitcoin, the digital coin that dominates the cryptocurrency market. It has gained notice both because of its skyrocketing value (from less than a cent in early 2010 to around $2,600 currently) and because it is frequently a key player in hacking- and black-market-related stories, from the looting of nearly half a billion dollars in coins from the Mt. Gox exchange in 2014 to the recent demand for payment in Bitcoin in the Wanna Cry ransomware attack. ( For the uninitiated, here is a useful primer on Bitcoin . ) But do you know Ethereum, with a total value of coins in circulation of close to $20 billion? Bitcoin Cash, which split off from the original Bitcoin on Aug. 1, lost about half its value within hours, then nearly quadrupled by the next day? Or, rounding out the Big Four, Ripple — whose currency is known as XRP — which shot up to about 40 cents by mid-May from less than a cent at the end of March?

Thus, presenting a list of cryptocurrencies went from being a reasonable thing to do to an impossible task for a site that doesn’t have to make a list of cryptos as its main focus. For a list of most of the current cryptocurrencies, you can check out Coin Market Cap.com. Our brief list below will focus only on some top coins that have made it through the years or that are still relevant today. List of Top Cryptocurrencies 2015 – 2018To start this page off, let’s first take a look at the top 10 or so cryptocurrencies of 2015 – 2018 to get a sense of which ones have stuck around and which ones could be important in the years to come. This list was created by us (cryptocurrencyfacts.com) and is based on familiarity, market cap (total coins that will ever be produced times current value), the ease with which a coin can be traded for fiat currency like the US dollar, and the coins potential to survive trends. In other words, these are the coins that we think make the most valid investments (in general, not at a given moment) and are worth exploring for new coin users (not simply the coins with the highest market cap, value, or most relevance alone)."

Check out our ICO list By the end of the 1 st quarter, close to $400m has been invested through initial coin offerings and, in not too dissimilar fashion to the dot.com era, companies are managing to raise millions of Dollars with just a white paper and a cryptocoin. To put it into perspective, Bitcoin is now accounting for just under 50% of total market share of cryptocurrencies, despite the fact that Bitcoin’s market capitalisation has surged from around $10bn to over $40bn over the last year and having accounted for as much as 80% of total market capitalisation of cryptocurrencies a year ago, taking the total market cap of cryptocurrencies from $12.5bn to a whopping $90bn. So, is this the new revolution in fund raising or another pyramid that is soon to explode? Get Into Bitcoin Trading Today When searching for active and upcoming initial coin offerings better known as ICOs, one sees a mind boggling list of companies looking to raise money through ICOs, companies ranging from online sports gambling to regional banks being established for the digital generation, the only pre-requisite to qualify for raising funds through ICOs being that they must have a cryptocurrency and token as an integral part of product on offer.

There are now many disruptive platforms that are using blockchain technology in specific use cases. Many of these platforms launch via initial coin offerings, but not all initial coin offerings are successful. One of the areas in which blockchain technology is most disruptive is the enterprise space. Enterprise applications are able to take advantage of a range of different technological advantages over traditional database architecture, which include total immutability, security, reliability, transparency, and decentralization. While blockchain technology can be considered relatively mature, there are currently few platforms that integrate the blockchain into enterprise applications. The next generation of blockchain networks, however, are set to fill the massive gap in the enterprise market and dramatically simplify the development and distribution of distributed applications that can be used to drive business value. In this article, we’ll take a look at the Neblio platform, a next-generation blockchain platform specifically focused on the development and distribution of enterprise applications and services.

"text": "\"Q: We're about to buy a new wood-burning stove, and our local dealer refuses to install it unless we buy a stainless steel liner that goes all the way out the top of the chimney. Do we really need to do this? If so, is it something we can do ourselves? A: There are four situations relating to your existing chimney that would cause your code authority to require a stainless liner for a wood stove installation:1) The existing chimney is unlined. In the past, some masonry chimneys were built without any liner at all. Without a liner, wood exhaust can leak through the mortar joints into the house. Further, liquid creosote will eventually dissolve the binder in the mortar and soak into the joints, until the chimney itself could catch fire!2) The existing chimney is lined, but the liner is cracked or damaged. Masonry chimney liners are made of clay or pumice, which can crack from chimney fires, settling, or other causes. Cracks in a pumice or clay flue liner will let the smoke and liquid creosote through, leading to the same problems described above.3) The existing chimney is lined, but the liner is too large. Oversized flues cause numerous problems, like smoke spillage into the house when they're cold, stove overfiring when they finally heat up, and the kind of excessive creosote formation that leads to chimney fires."

Red, updated: March 9, 2004This list is a result of long hours of searching records and writing thousands of messages to people all over Illinois. The original list of almost three hundred names came from the microfilm “ROLL OF HONOR OF BURIAL PLACES OF SOLDIERS, SAILORS, MARINES AND ARMY NURSES OF ALL WARS OF THE UNITED STATES BURIED IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.” Most of those records were taken from a combined reading of the 1929 two-volume book of the same name and the 1956 State archives microfilm of the same title. It is especially curious that in the earlier work the names of Confederate veterans are almost entirely absent. It would appear they were intentionally not included with other U. S. military veterans. In the 1929 volumes, the names of Confederates buried at the Alton Confederate Cemetery (Alton Prison), Camp Butler National Cemetery (Camp Butler Prison), Rock Island National Cemetery (Rock Island Prison), Oakwood Cemetery (Camp Douglas Prison), and the Mounds City National Cemetery are all not included. Only a small handful of Confederates are included in the 1929 work. In the 1956 work and in most cases, Confederates are only identified as Confederate, Rebel, or CSA. Innumerable entries in the book and on the microfilm show no allegiance, any unit, or any other information, so it is impossible to determine from that record if the men were Confederate or not. The listing of names for the five cemeteries named above will be available on separate rosters."

It is funded by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), [1] and will search for interior-to-Earth-orbit (IEO) asteroids, [9] [10] at between 45 and 55 degree solar elongation and +40 to -40 degrees ecliptic latitude.

[ 5] [11] It is powered by gallium arsenide (Ga As) solar cells placed on all six sides of its frame; [5] the entire spacecraft uses around 80 watts of power, [12] with the bus core systems consuming an average of 45 watts. [ 5] The spacecraft uses miniature reaction wheels for stabilization and attitude control, [13] [14] and magnetic torque rods to dump excess momentum by pushing against Earth's magnetic field, [13] [5] so no on-board fuel is required for operation. [ 14]NEOSSat is a descendent of Canada's earlier MOST satellite. It was built on the Multi-Mission Microsatellite Bus, which was created using data from the development of MOST. [ 10] Its science payload includes a telescope of the same design as that on MOST, [3] [6] and uses spare CCD detectors from the MOST mission.

Casting directors ensure that “the show must go on” by finding, interviewing and selecting actors for a show, film or live production. They also typically oversee the hiring of all extras or actors who fill the scenes. Casting directors are supported by professional organizations, including The Casting Society of America, or CSA, and can earn great salaries once they are established in television or film. Pay The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the median annual salary for all directors was $70,660 per year, or $33.97 per hour, in 2011. The top 10 percent earned more than $187,000 per year, while the lowest 10 percent earned an average of $32,010. It is a field where your experience is rewarded as this, along with your credentials and quality of work, will move you into the top 10 percent. Those in the motion picture and video industry, for example, earned an annual mean wage of $115,920 as compared to those in the performing arts companies industry, who earned an averages of $59,550. What Casting Directors Do Many casting directors are former actors or producers who know the industry very well and have established expertise and a good reputation over their years of work. Their primary focus is to identify the best talent or fit for a given role while keeping a focus on the artistic and creative direction of the production."

Then their job is to show the best of the best to the producer and director for the final decision making. They also know how to negotiate and finalize the talent's contracts. The agent's job is to get the actor's photo and resume in front of the casting director while they are actively casting projects. Casting is one of the most important but least understood jobs in the entertainment industry. Typically, casting directors offer a range of services, from drawing up lists of prospects to screening candidates on videotape to conducting nationwide searches and overseeing auditions. Demands vary from negotiating a bit player's fee to populating a director's vision with the right faces and voices. Casting is the only trade not recognized with an Academy Award; the Casting Society of America honors outstanding achievement with its annual Artios awards, the profession's equivalent of the Oscars.

Let Us Help You What is Controlled Substance Law? Controlled substance law consists of prohibitions against the unauthorized possession of drugs that the government has determined to be dangerous, habit-forming, or otherwise not appropriate for use without a prescription. Statutes setting forth these laws have been enacted at all levels of government, including most local municipalities. Violations can result in criminal fines and incarceration. The severity of the penalty in any given case is determined primarily by the quantity of controlled substances involved and whether the offender has past convictions for similar crimes. At the federal level, Congress enacted the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) in 1970 in an effort to categorize regulated drugs based on their potential for abuse, as well as the benefits they provide from a medical standpoint. States have enacted their own schedules in much the same fashion. Drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, and many other street and prescription drugs are placed within one of five “schedules.” The most harmful substances appear in Schedule I, and the rest appear in descending order accordingly."

"text": "Jeffreyw/Flickr30 mins Prep: 15 mins, Cook: 15 mins Yield: 4 Sandwiches (4 Servings) (125)By Hector Rodriguez Updated 04/05/18Share Pin Email A Cuban sandwich, known as a Cubano, is a Latin variation on a grilled ham-and-cheese sandwich. This undeniably delicious sandwich is grilled and made with ham, pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and Cuban bread. The essential ingredient is the roasted pork, traditionally marinated in a mojo sauce redolent with orange juice, lime juice, garlic, oregano, and cumin before roasting. Instead of mayonnaise or mustard, some purists use butter, while others add lettuce and tomatoes after the sandwich has been grilled. If you can't find Cuban bread, a long loaf of French or Italian bread will do. Some people make do with Italian bread for panini, which is another grilled sandwich similar to a Cubano. What You'll Need1 loaf bread (Cuban bread or French or Italian bread can be substituted)1 pound ham (cooked, sliced)1 pound pork (roasted, sliced)1/2 pound Swiss cheese (sliced)6 dill pickles (sliced)2 tablespoons butter (or cooking spray)Garnish: Yellow mustard Garnish: Mayonnaise How to Make It Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Cut the loaf of bread into quarters and slice each quarter in half horizontally for the sandwiches. Spread the mustard or mayonnaise on the bread. Then make each sandwich by layering the roasted ham, pork, cheese, and dill pickles."

"text": "By Bill Daley Chicago Tribune Linked In Google+Pinterest Reddit Print Order Reprint of this Story October 14, 2014 05:22 PMUpdated October 14, 2014 05:23 PMA Cuban sandwich is the stuff of which food memories are made. I still remember my first — enjoyed nearly 30 years ago at a small restaurant on Key Biscayne off the Miami coast. It was savory, it was crusty, it was delicious and it hit the spot. What is a Cuban sandwich? Think of it like a golden, crispy submarine sandwich but without the lettuce, tomato or other trimmings. Most recipes call for sliced ham, roast pork with a citrusy marinade (called mojo) and Swiss cheese layered in a loaf of Cuban bread, then garnished with pickles and mustard. The sandwich is heated in a sandwich press until warm and crusty, then sliced diagonally. Anything beyond that and you risk the ire of traditionalists who have a firm view of what makes a sandwich Cubano — and what does not. Authenticity matters. Raquel Rabade Roque, the Miami-based author of The Cuban Kitchen, talks of the importance of keeping traditions and maintaining the purity of the Cuban sandwich."

In 2012, Tampa declared the “Historic Tampa Cuban sandwich” as the town’s “signature sandwich.” The declaration led to a friendly debate between Miami and Tampa on the sandwich’s primary ingredients. Tampa insists that it is customary to use salami, while Miami sandwich makers skip it."

Additionally, you can leave mayonnaise off sandwiches, omit chicken from any of the salads and even order your fries unsalted for a significant sodium savings. ( Then again, we try to steer clear of fries in general. ) Wendy's offers a variety of salads, in both full- and half-size portions. You can also order burgers in junior sizes, which cuts calories, sodium and saturated fat.

"text": "Jeffreyw/Flickr30 mins Prep: 15 mins, Cook: 15 mins Yield: 4 Sandwiches (4 Servings) (125)By Hector Rodriguez Updated 04/05/18Share Pin Email A Cuban sandwich, known as a Cubano, is a Latin variation on a grilled ham-and-cheese sandwich. This undeniably delicious sandwich is grilled and made with ham, pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and Cuban bread. The essential ingredient is the roasted pork, traditionally marinated in a mojo sauce redolent with orange juice, lime juice, garlic, oregano, and cumin before roasting. Instead of mayonnaise or mustard, some purists use butter, while others add lettuce and tomatoes after the sandwich has been grilled. If you can't find Cuban bread, a long loaf of French or Italian bread will do. Some people make do with Italian bread for panini, which is another grilled sandwich similar to a Cubano. What You'll Need1 loaf bread (Cuban bread or French or Italian bread can be substituted)1 pound ham (cooked, sliced)1 pound pork (roasted, sliced)1/2 pound Swiss cheese (sliced)6 dill pickles (sliced)2 tablespoons butter (or cooking spray)Garnish: Yellow mustard Garnish: Mayonnaise How to Make It Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Cut the loaf of bread into quarters and slice each quarter in half horizontally for the sandwiches. Spread the mustard or mayonnaise on the bread. Then make each sandwich by layering the roasted ham, pork, cheese, and dill pickles."

"text": "Click to view full Infographic The cuisine of Florida is one of the exotic styles of food in the United States, and is as diverse as the people who live there, with strong influences from the rest of the South, Latin America, and the Caribbean. A history of immigration from its nearby neighbors like Cuba and the Bahamas, has created a fusion of cultures. The cuisine produced from this fusion of cultures is usually referred to as Floribbean cuisine, a portmanteau of Florida and Caribbean, despite the other influences involved. The cuisine and culture of Florida varies across the state. The northern part of the state, especially the Florida panhandle, features cuisine similar to that of the rest of the South, like barbecue, grits, and some Cajun and Creole cuisines. Florida has its own take on some of these Southern dishes, like grits and grunts, which incorporates grunt fish into Southern classic grits. The lower parts of the state have a higher concentration of immigrants and the cuisine includes more diverse and exotic flavors. Floridian cuisine has also been influenced by Asian immigrants who settled in the area, and were hired as inexpensive laborers after the end of slavery. Florida’s warm climate allows many tropical fruits to thrive, including mangoes, papayas, and coconuts. Florida is the largest citrus producer in the United States, and the fruit is used to make many dishes, such as seviche (sometimes spelled ceviche) which is seafood that is cooked only in the acid of citrus juice."

Many package tours fly directly to Varadero from Canada and from Europe. There is a currency exchange booth outside of the airport to the left of the exit. Beware that there is a 10% tax on exchanging USD and EUR, so it is better to use ATM on the right of the currency exchange booth (especially if you have a Revolut card). Taxi from airport to the town (about 10km) costs about 25-30CUC. It may be possible to bargain the fare to about 20CUC, but not much less. Alternately you can walk out to the airport parking lot and tip (5-10CUC) one of the tour bus drivers to hitch a ride to your hotel/resort - this always works out cheaper than taxi if you travel solo.

Kennedy saw conspiracy in JFK’s assassination By Bryan Bender and Neil Swidey Globe Staff November 24, 2013Associated Press File 1963Robert Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy watched as President Kennedy’s coffin was placed in an ambulance at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., on Nov. 22, the day he was assassinated. A ttorney General Robert F. Kennedy was sitting at his backyard patio table, clutching a tuna fish sandwich, when the call came through. Kennedy had spent the morning at a Justice Department conference on his intensifying war against organized crime. He had invited two of his employees from New York, US Attorney Robert Morgenthau and an aide, back to his sprawling home, Hickory Hill in Mc Lean, Va., to continue the conversation over a private lunch. A key focus of the morning meetings had been the Justice Department’s efforts to put Mafia kingpins behind bars. Now, by the pool on an unseasonably warm day in November 1963, Kennedy talked optimistically about efforts to neutralize one of those mob leaders, Carlos Marcello. At the very moment when Kennedy and his guests were digging into their sandwiches and clam chowder, Marcello was sitting in a packed courtroom in New Orleans, awaiting the verdict in his deportation trial. Kennedy had turned 38 just two days earlier, and his mop of brown hair, slim frame, and charging intensity had always combined to project an aura of youth. Still, the bags under his eyes betrayed the weight of responsibilities he had been shouldering for the previous three years, serving as not just the nation’s top law enforcement official but also the president’s most trusted adviser and fixer.

There are lots to examine, and I’ll make it simple: I’ll explain the differences from their art form, their technology, their religion/belief system, as well as their distribution. Visual art form Melanesian mask (picture from ABC News)Polynesian sculpture (picture from Getty Images)Micronesian handcrafts (picture from Travel Photos by Galen R Frysinger, Sheboygan, Wisconsin )I’m not an expert for traditional dances or music, so I’ll go with the visual art forms. Melanesian art style emphasizes more on curvilinear shapes/forms, or in other words, it has curvy lines. Also, the way I see it, Melanesian art style is a little less symmetrical - its alignment, rhythm, and continuation is not really aligned well. Vibrant colors are seldom used; it mostly use less vibrant colors varying at brown, dark yellow, orange, dark red, black, and dark gray. Polynesian art style has more diagonal, straight lines and geometrical shapes, although curves are not uncommon. Symmetry is a continuing element in its design, which can be observed at its execution at rhythm and alignment. The alignment is so precise I can actually mirror a symmetrical Polynesian art design and it looks just the same as it being not mirrored. Due to the culture’s vast spread, Polynesian art style adopts various color schemes: the darker one - which is similar to Melanesian’s - at New Zealand; and the more vibrant one at Hawaii."

Opinions of what constitutes Oceania range from the coral atolls and volcanic islands of the South Pacific ( ethnologically divided into the subregions of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia) to the entire insular region between Asia and the Americas, including Australasia and the Malay Archipelago. The term is sometimes used more specifically to denote a continent comprising Australia and proximate islands, or biogeographically as a synonym for either the Australasian ecozone ( Wallacea and Australasia) or the Pacific ecozone (Melanesia, Polynesia, and Micronesia apart either from New Zealand or from mainland New Guinea). Etymology The term was coined as Océanie ca. 1812 by geographer Conrad Malte-Brun. The word Océanie is a French language word derived from the Greek word ὠκεανός ( ōkeanós ), ocean. Definitions Map of Oceania As an ecozone, Oceania includes all of Micronesia, Fiji, and all of Polynesia except New Zealand. New Zealand, along with New Guinea and nearby islands, Australia, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia, constitute the separate Australasia ecozone."

Rejoice! — YH]“The Strategist”:http://www.kotare.typepad.com/thestrategist/ posted “last week”:http://cominganarchy.com/2007/06/18/dark-side-of-paradise-conflict-in-melanesia/ on conflict in Melanesia, a region within Oceania alongside Micronesia and Polynesia. To keep this series in context, we need to define these sub-regions, as they have distinct security concerns and challenges, as well as widely varying cultures and geography. The Pacific contains up to 30,000 small islands. These can (broadly) be divided culturally into three regions: Micronesia (“small islands”), Polynesia (“many islands”) and Melanesia (“black islands”).“*Micronesia*”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micronesia includes the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Guam, the Northern Marianas, Palau, and the Marshall Islands. Most islands here are low coral atolls. The dominant external power is the United States, and they last suffered political violence in the 1980s (in Palau). The region is strategically important due to the presence of US military forces, and as such could be drawn into any conflict with China. China has increased its diplomatic involvement here, even more so than elsewhere in the Pacific."

These traits include family structure, marriage rules, organization of society, and ways of gaining survival needs or making a living. Melanesia itself is part of a larger culture area called Oceania that includes Melanesia, Polynesia, Micronesia, and Australia. The native inhabitants of Melanesia, called Melanesians, are characteristically dark-skinned with frizzy hair. They are sometimes referred to as \"\"Papuans,\"\" from the Malay word papua meaning \"\"frizzy haired. \"\" 2 • LOCATIONMelanesia includes the islands of New Guinea, Vanuatu (the former New Hebrides), New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, and some smaller neighboring islands.

"text": "\"Overview The Pacific Islands region of the South Pacific Ocean is called Oceania when Australia and New Zealand are included. There are approximately 25,000 islands, atolls and islets in Oceania. Within the Pacific Islands region are the subregions of Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia. The islands of Tonga, Tahiti, and Fiji are located within two of these three areas. Polynesia means \"\"many islands,\"\" and includes within its 5 million squares miles the Kingdom of Tonga and the Territory of French Polynesia, where Tahiti is located. Samoa and Hawaii are also found in Polynesia. The region's name comes from the Greek word melas, meaning black. It was so named because of the skin color of island natives. Tonga is an archipelago of 170 islands. Its total land area is about four times the size of Washington, D. C., measuring 288 square miles (746 square kilometers)."

The indigenous people who inhabit the islands of Polynesia are termed Polynesians, and share many similar traits including language family, culture, and beliefs. [ 1] Historically, they had a strong tradition of sailing and using stars to navigate at night. The term Polynesia was first used in 1756 by French writer Charles de Brosses, and originally applied to all the islands of the Pacific. In 1831, Jules Dumont d'Urville proposed a restriction on its use during a lecture to the Geographical Society of Paris. Historically, the islands of the South Seas have been known as South Sea Islands, [2] and their inhabitants as South Sea Islanders, even though the Hawaiian Islands are located in the North Pacific."

HEHEHEHEHE (sie)1 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Australia is the continent, Oceania is the region. Continents are just very large landmasses. Australia is the only country that is also a continent. Oceania is the larger region that contains Australia, New Zealand and the many island countries of the South Pacific. Australasia is what the Oceania region used to be called about 40 years ago. Regions can contain continents and islands, but continents are single landmasses. The country of Australia for instance includes the Australian continent, Tasmania (which is an island) and various other islands in the Indian, Pacific and Southern oceans. The Asian continent would be just the mainland."

"text": "\"Social Science Anthropology What is the origin of the Polynesian people?3 following 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Recent maternal mitochondrial DNA analysis suggests that Polynesians, including Tongans, Samoans, Niueans, Cook Islanders, Tahitians, Hawaiians, Marquesans and Ma-ori, are genetically linked to indigenous peoples of parts of Southeast Asia including those of Taiwan. This DNA evidence is supported by linguistic and archaeological evidence. Recent studies into paternal Y chromosome analysis shows that Polynesians are also genetically linked to peoples of Melanesia... Therefore it is current belief that the Polynesian people are a hybrid race between indigenous peoples of parts of Southeast Asia and peoples of Melanesia, though it has not been proven. Between about 3000 and 1000 BC speakers of Austronesian languages spread through island South-East Asia – almost certainly starting out from Taiwan – into the edges of western Micronesia and on into Melanesia. In the archaeological record there are well-defined traces of this expansion which allow the path it took to be followed and dated with a degree of certainty. In the mid 2nd millennium BC a distinctive culture appeared suddenly in north-west Melanesia, in the Bismarck Archipelago, the chain of islands forming a great arch from New Britain to the Admiralty Islands. This culture, known as Lapita, stands out in the Melanesian archeological record, with its large permanent villages on beach terraces along the coasts. Particularly characteristic of the Lapita culture is the making of pottery, including a great many vessels of varied shapes, some distinguished by fine patterns and motifs pressed into the clay. Within a mere three or four centuries between about 1300 and 900 BC, the Lapita culture spread 6000 km further to the east from the Bismarck Archipelago, until it reached as far as Tonga and Samoa. In this region, the distinctive Polynesian culture developed..... Archaeological evidence indicates that by about 700 AD, the Polynesians had settled the vast Polynesian triangle with its northern corner at Hawai'i, the eastern corner at Rapa Nui (Easter Island), and the southern corner in New Zealand."

( Photo courtesy of Polynesian Voyaging Society. ) Of Thor Heyerdahl and Andrew Sharp's attacks on Polynesian settlement orthodoxy, Heyerdahl's drew the most public attention. Expert opinion was, however, almost universally against Heyerdahl's thesis, for he brought forth no solid evidence for settlement from the Americas and ignored all that in favor of an ultimate origin in Southeast Asia. Nevertheless, it soon became evident that Heyerdahl had uncovered a major weakness in orthodox thinking. The archaeological excavations and analyses of recovered materials that were needed to establish definitively that the ancestral Polynesians had migrated from island Southeast Asia to Polynesia simply had not been done. There was no firm archaeological evidence as to whether the ancestral Polynesians had passed through Melanesia or Micronesia on their way to Polynesia, much less as to where in Southeast Asia they originated. The picture was grossly incomplete, and Heyerdahl was not remiss in pointing this out. The findings of the archaeological work subsequently conducted throughout Polynesia and in Melanesia have not been kind to Heyerdahl's theory of American origins. Through their excavations and analyses of artifacts and other recovered materials, archaeologists were able to develop a model of Polynesian settlement that demonstrated the eastward movement into the Pacific of ancestral Polynesians, located the \"\"true\"\" homeland of the Polynesians on the western edge of Polynesia itself, outlined population dispersion within the Polynesian triangle, and demonstrated the lack of evidence of any noticeable population movement from the Americas to Polynesia."

New Zealand has the largest concentration of Pacific Islanders in the world.

"text": "\"Moai at Rano Raraku, Rapa Nui (Easter Island)Oceanic art or Oceanian art comprises the creative works made by the native peoples of the Pacific Islands and Australia, including areas as far apart as Hawaii and Easter Island. Specifically it comprises the works of the two groups of people who settled the area, though during two different periods. They would in time however, come to interact and together reach even more remote islands. The area is often broken down into four separate regions: Polynesia, Micronesia, Australasia, and Melanesia. The former two share a common ancestral culture of the Lapita, while the latter two comprise settlers of the first wave of people into the area. All of the regions in later times would be greatly affected by western influence and colonization. In more recent times, the people of Oceania have found a greater appreciation of their region's artistic heritage. The artistic creations of these people varies greatly throughout the cultures and regions. The subject matter typically carries themes of fertility or the supernatural. Art such as masks were used in religious ceremonies or social rituals."

Between about 3000 and 1000 BC speakers of Austronesian languages began spreading from Taiwan into Island South-East Asia, [1] [2] [3] as tribes whose natives were thought to have arrived through South China about 8,000 years ago to the edges of western Micronesia and on into Melanesia, although they are different from the Han Chinese who now form the majority of people in China and Taiwan. There are three theories regarding the spread of humans across the Pacific to Polynesia. These are outlined well by Kayser et al. ( 2000) [4] and are as follows: Express Train model: A recent (c. 3000–1000 BC) expansion out of Taiwan, via the Philippines and eastern Indonesia and from the north-west (\"\" Bird's Head \"\") of New Guinea, on to Island Melanesia by roughly 1400 BC, reaching western Polynesian islands right about 900 BC. This theory is supported by the majority of current human genetic data, linguistic data, and archaeological data. Entangled Bank model: Emphasizes the long history of Austronesian speakers' cultural and genetic interactions with indigenous Island South-East Asians and Melanesians along the way to becoming the first Polynesians."

The nearest of these countries include Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, which are all island nations or territories in the South-East Asian and Asia-Pacific regions. Australia also shares a contested overland border in the Australian Antarctic Territory which adjoins territories claimed by several nations. Indonesia is Australia's largest near neighbouring country and belongs to both the Asia-Pacific and South-East Asian regions. Australia's second and third largest neighbours, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand, are referred to as belonging to the Oceania region. This region is divided into the three island groups of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. The north-easterly islands are part of Melanesia, and the larger of these are called 'continental' islands as distinguished from the much smaller islands of Micronesia and Polynesia. Territorial Boundaries Australia's boundaries with its nearest Asia-Pacific neighbours are determined by Australia's '200 nautical mile' (371 kilometre) Exclusive Economic Marine Zone (EEMZ) or Australian Fishing Zone (AFZ) which is the second largest Exclusive Economic Marine Zone in the world after the United States. With the inclusion of all of Australia's island territories it is the largest Fishing Zone. Australia has a legal claim to this continental shelf under the Law of the Sea Convention (LOSC) (1982)."

Keesing Melanesian culture, the beliefs and practices of the indigenous peoples of the ethnogeographic group of Pacific Islands known as Melanesia. From northwest to southeast, the islands form an arc that begins with New Guinea (the western half of which is called Papua and is part of Indonesia, and the eastern half of which comprises the independent country of Papua New Guinea) and continues through the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu (formerly New Hebrides), New Caledonia, Fiji, and numerous smaller islands. The Andesite Line, a geological feature of extreme volcanic and earthquake activity, separates Melanesia from Polynesia in the east and from Micronesia in the north, along the Equator; in the south, Melanesia is bounded by the Tropic of Capricorn and Australia. Melanesia’s name was derived from the Greek melas ‘black’ and nesoi ‘islands’ because of the dark skin of its inhabitants. In the early 21st century the population of Melanesia was approximately 10 million. Culture areas of the Pacific Islands. Although the prehistory of most of island Melanesia has not been fully documented, evidence suggests that the cultural, linguistic, and political fragmentation that prevailed at the time of European arrival, with a half-dozen languages and cultures often represented on a single island, was partly a product of transformation that had occurred during the previous 2,000 years. Hierarchical political systems and associated trade networks seem to have broken down during this period and appear to have been accompanied by the increasing separation of language or dialect groups. The causes of these transformations, perhaps including internecine warfare and the spread of diseases (malaria in particular), remain unclear. These changes were accelerated by European arrival, which further disrupted trade systems, intensified intercommunity warfare by supplying firearms, thinned populations by introducing diseases and indentured labour, and eroded traditional authority systems."
